Propagating behaviour of solutions of multistable reaction-diffusion equations (英語)
[ Abstract ]
This talk will be devoted to propagation phenomena for a general scalar reaction-diffusion PDE, when it may admit an arbitrarily large number of stationary states. It is well known that, in some simple cases, special travelling front solutions (depending on a single variable moving with a constant speed) arise in the large time behaviour of solutions. Due to this feature, reaction-diffusion equations have become ubiquituous in the modelling of spatial invasions in ecology, population dynamics and biology. However, in general, large time propagation can no longer be described by a single front, but by a family of several successive fronts (or `propagating terrace') involving intermediate transient equilibria. I will review several methods, including a connection with Sturm-Liouville theory, to handle such dynamics.
