We study a family of reaction-diffusion equations that present a doubly nonlinear character given by a combination of the $p$-Laplacian and the porous medium operators. We consider the so-called slow diffusion regime, corresponding to a degenerate behaviour at the level 0, ormalcolor in which nonnegative solutions with compactly supported initial data have a compact support for any later time. For some results we will also require $pge2$ to avoid the possibility of a singular behaviour away from 0. Problems in this family have a unique (up to translations) travelling wave with a finite front. When the initial datum is bounded, radially symmetric and compactly supported, we will prove that solutions converging to 1 (which exist, as we show, for all the reaction terms under consideration for wide classes of initial data) do so by approaching a translation of this unique traveling wave in the radial direction, but with a logarithmic correction in the position of the front when the dimension is bigger than one. As a corollary we obtain the asymptotic location of the free boundary and level sets in the non-radial case up to an error term of size $O(1)$. In dimension one we extend our results to cover the case of non-symmetric initial data, as well as the case of bounded initial data with supporting sets unbounded in one direction of the real line. A main technical tool of independent interest is an estimate for the flux. Most of our results are new even for the special cases of the porous medium equation and the $p$-Laplacian evolution equation.

We use a geometric approach to prove the existence of smooth travelling wave solutions of a nonlinear diffusion-reaction equation with logistic kinetics and a convex nonlinear diffusivity function which changes sign twice in our domain of interest. W e determine the minimum wave speed, c*, and investigate its relation to the spectral stability of the travelling wave solutions.
We consider the inverse problem of determining a general semilinear term appearing in nonlinear parabolic equations. For this purpose, we derive a new criterion that allows to prove global recovery of some general class of semilinear terms from later al boundary measurements of solutions of the equation with initial condition fixed at zero. More precisely, we prove, for what seems to be the first time, the unique and stable recovery of general semilinear terms depending on time and space variables independently of the solution of the nonlinear equation from the knowledge of the parabolic Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated with the solution of the equation with initial condition fixed at zero. Our approach is based on the second linearization of the inverse problem under consideration.
In this contribution, we study a class of doubly nonlinear elliptic equations with bounded, merely integrable right-hand side on the whole space $mathbb{R}^N$. The equation is driven by the fractional Laplacian $(-Delta)^{frac{s}{2}}$ for $sin (0,1]$ and a strongly continuous nonlinear perturbation of first order. It is well known that weak solutions are in genreral not unique in this setting. We are able to prove an $L^1$-contraction and comparison principle and to show existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions.
Reaction-diffusion equations (RDEs) are often derived as continuum limits of lattice-based discrete models. Recently, a discrete model which allows the rates of movement, proliferation and death to depend upon whether the agents are isolated has been proposed, and this approach gives various RDEs where the diffusion term is convex and can become negative (Johnston et al., Sci. Rep. 7, 2017), i.e. forward-backward-forward diffusion. Numerical simulations suggest these RDEs support shock-fronted travelling waves when the reaction term includes an Allee effect. In this work we formalise these preliminary numerical observations by analysing the shock-fronted travelling waves through embedding the RDE into a larger class of higher order partial differential equations (PDEs). Subsequently, we use geometric singular perturbation theory to study this larger class of equations and prove the existence of these shock-fronted travelling waves. Most notable, we show that different embeddings yield shock-fronted travelling waves with different properties.

We consider quasi-stationary (travelling wave type) solutions to a general nonlinear reaction-convection-diffusion equation with arbitrary, autonomous coefficients. The second order nonlinear equation describing one dimensional travelling waves can b e reduced to a first kind first order Abel type differential equation By using two integrability conditions for the Abel equation (the Chiellini lemma and the Lemke transformation), several classes of exact travelling wave solutions of the general reaction--convection-diffusion equation are obtained, corresponding to different functional relations imposed between the diffusion, convection and reaction functions. In particular, we obtain travelling wave solutions for two non-linear second order partial differential equations, representing generalizations of the standard diffusion equation and of the classical Fisher--Kolmogorov equation, to which they reduce for some limiting values of the model parameters. The models correspond to some specific, power law type choices of the reaction and convection functions, respectively. The travelling wave solutions of these two classes of differential equations are investigated in detail by using both numerical and semi-analytical methods.
