A central limit theorem for pulled fronts in a random medium
We consider solutions to a nonlinear reaction diffusion equation when the reaction term varies randomly with respect to the spatial coordinate. The nonlinearity is the KPP type nonlinearity. For a stationary and ergodic medium, and for certain initial condition, the solution develops a moving front that has a deterministic asymptotic speed in the large time limit. The main result of this articl...
متن کاملFrequency-Dependent Selection at Rough Expanding Fronts
Microbial colonies are experimental model systems for studying the colonization of new territory by biological species through range expansion. We study a generalization of the two-species Eden model, which incorporates local frequency-dependent selection, in order to analyze how social interactions between two species influence surface roughness of growing microbial colonies. The model include...
متن کاملThe logarithmic delay of KPP fronts in a periodic medium
We consider solutions of the KPP-type equations with a periodically varying reaction rate, and compactly supported initial data. It has been shown by Bramson [5, 6] in the case of the constant reaction rate that the lag between the position of such solutions and that of the traveling waves grows as (3/2) log t, as t→ +∞. We generalize this result to the periodic case.
متن کاملCombustion Fronts in a Porous Medium with Two Layers
We study a model for the lateral propagation of a combustion front through a porous medium with two parallel layers having different properties. The reaction involves oxygen and a solid fuel. In each layer, the model consists of a nonlinear reaction–diffusion–convection system, derived from balance equations and Darcy’s law. Under an incompressibility assumption, we obtain a simple model whose ...
متن کاملFermions in a Random Medium
We study the continuum field theory for an ensemble of directed polymers ri(t) in 1+d ′ dimensions that live in a medium with quenched point disorder and interact via short-ranged pair forces gΨ(ri − rj). In the strong-disorder (or low-temperature) regime, such forces are found to be relevant in any dimension d′ below the upper critical dimension for a single line. Attractive forces generate a ...
