Effect of noise on front propagation in KPP equations

  • Date: 10/11/2006
Lecturer(s):

Jeremy Quastel (University of Toronto)

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

We study random traveling waves in KPP equations with appropriate
additive noise. We prove a very explicit conjecture of Brunet and
Derrida concerning the dramatic slowdown of these fronts by the noise.
This is joint work with Carl Mueller and Leonid Mytnik.
