James Nolen : Reaction-Diffusion Fronts in Heterogeneous Media

Reaction-diffusion equations are used in mathematical models of many physical and biological phenomena involving front propagation and pulse propagation. How do variations in the environment effect these phenomena? In this seminar, I will describe recent progress in understanding how fronts propagate in heterogeneous media. In particular, I will describe properties of generalized traveling waves for one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations with variable excitation. I also will discuss multi-dimensional fronts in stationary random media, a model relevant to premixed-turbulent combustion. Along the way, I plan to describe interesting topics for future research.
