We consider in this article reaction-diffusion equations of the Fisher-KPP type with a nonlinearity depending on the space variable x, oscillating slowly and non-periodically. We are interested in the width of the interface between the unstable steady state 0 and the stable steady state 1 of the solutions of the Cauchy problem. We prove that, if the heterogeneity has large enough oscillations, then the width of this interface, that is, the diameter of some level sets, diverges linearly as t $rightarrow$ +$infty$ along some sequences of times, while it is sublinear along other sequences. As a corollary, we show that under these conditions generalized transition fronts do not exist for this equation.

In to previous papers by the authors, classes of initial data to the three dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were presented, generating a global smooth solution although the norm of the initial data may be chosen arbitrarily large.
The aim of this article is to provide new examples of arbitrarily large initial data giving rise to global solutions, in the whole space. Contrary to the previous examples, the initial data has no particular oscillatory properties, but varies slowly in one direction. The proof uses the special structure of the nonlinear term of the equation.
This paper is concerned with the inverse problem of determining the time and space dependent source term of diffusion equations with constant-order time-fractional derivative in $(0,2)$. We examine two different cases. In the first one, the source is
the product of two spatial and temporal terms, and we prove that both of them can be retrieved by knowledge of one arbitrary internal measurement of the solution for all times. In the second case, we assume that the first term of the product varies with one fixed space variable, while the second one is a function of all the remaining space variables and the time variable, and we show that both terms are uniquely determined by two arbitrary lateral measurements of the solution over the entire time span. These two source identification results boil down to a weak unique continuation principle in the first case and a unique continuation principle for Cauchy data in the second one, that are preliminarily established. Finally, numerical reconstruction of spatial term of source terms in the form of the product of two spatial and temporal terms, is carried out through an iterative algorithm based on the Tikhonov regularization method.
Spatially periodic reaction-diffusion equations typically admit pulsating waves which describe the transition from one steady state to another. Due to the heterogeneity, in general such an equation is not invariant by rotation and therefore the speed
of the pulsating wave may a priori depend on its direction. However, little is actually known in the literature about whether it truly does: surprisingly, it is even known in the one-dimensional monostable Fisher-KPP case that the speed is the same in the opposite directions despite the lack of symmetry. Here we investigate this issue in the bistable case and show that the set of admissible speeds is actually rather large, which means that the shape of propagation may indeed be asymmetrical. More precisely, we show in any spatial dimension that one can choose an arbitrary large number of directions , and find a spatially periodic bistable type equation to achieve any combination of speeds in those directions, provided those speeds have the same sign. In particular, in spatial dimension 1 and unlike the Fisher-KPP case, any pair of (either nonnegative or nonpositive) rightward and leftward wave speeds is admissible. We also show that these variations in the speeds of bistable pulsating waves lead to strongly asymmetrical situations in the multistable equations.
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 be
haviour 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 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.
