Abstract.We study the transient dynamics of single species reaction diffusion systems whose reaction terms f(u) vary nonlinearly near u ≈ 0, specifically as f(u) ≈ u2 and f(u) ≈ u3. We consider three cases, calculate their traveling wave fronts and speeds analytically and solve the equations numerically with different initial conditions to study the approach to the asymptotic front shape and speed. Observed time evolution is found to be quite sensitive to initial conditions and to display in…

Multitime reaction-diffusion PDE in a given direction
In this paper, we introduce and explore some properties of two types of multitime partial differential equations, one as geometrical prolongation of the reaction-diffusion…
Multitime KdV solitons
The term of multitime soliton has recently been coined in our research school to describe a multitime pulselike nonlinear wave (multitime solitary wave) which emerges from a collision with a similar…

TLDR
If the parameters $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ obey a special relation, then the criterion for the existence of a strong heteroclinic connection can be expressed in terms of two of these parameters.
Oscillating wave fronts in isothermal chemical systems with arbitrary powers of autocatalysis
The propagation of planar reaction-diffusion waves in the isothermal autocatalytic system A + mB → (m + 1)B, rate kabm, is considered. Attention is paid to the case when the diffusion coefficient of…
UNIVERSAL ALGEBRAIC RELAXATION OF FRONTS PROPAGATING INTO AN UNSTABLE STATE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MOVING BOUNDARY APPROXIMATIONS
We analyze the relaxation of fronts propagating into unstable states. While “pushed” fronts relaxexponentially like fronts propagating into a metastable state, “pulled” or “linear marginal…

Weakly pushed nature of "pulled" fronts with a cutoff.
TLDR
This paper shows that the longest relaxation times tau(m) that govern the convergence to the asymptotic front speed and profile are given by tau(-1)(m) approximately equal to [(m+1)(2)-1]pi(2)/ln(2)epsilon, for m=1,2,....

Patterns and localized structures in population dynamics.
TLDR
Patterns, fronts, and localized structures of a prototypical model for population dynamics interaction are studied and solutions are obtained, the phase diagram is constructed, and the emergence of localized structures is investigated.
