Lecture series

A multi session course starting on Monday 04/05/2026 10:00-12:00, @P3.10.

Michael Grinfeld, University of Strathclyde
Travelling waves in scalar parabolic equations

We will concentrate on the problem of characterising the minimal speed of monotone fronts in monostable scalar reaction diffusion (and advection) equations. The emphasis will be on variational principles and the puzzling situation of explicitly solvable equations. If time permits, I will also cover voting models and the connection to renormalisation group theory.
