Inside dynamics of pushed and pulled fronts (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Mathematical analysis of reaction-diffusion equations is a powerful tool in the understanding of dynamics of many real-life propagation phenomena. A feature of particular interest is the fact that dynamics and their underlying mechanisms vary greatly, depending on the choice of the nonlinearity in the reaction term. In this talk, we will discuss the pushed/pulled front terminology, based upon the role of each component of the front inside the whole propagating structure.
