Lecture "Reaction- Diffusion Equations in General Domains"

Professor Henri Berestycki  is a Sackler Distinguished Lecturer in Pure Mathematics for the academic year  2018/2019. 

Abstract 

​

Reaction-diffusion equations are ubiquitous in modelling in the life sciences as an approach to spatial propagation and diffusion. They also arise in physics, and, more recently, in social sciences. After describing the mechanism of reaction and diffusion, I will review some classical properties. I will then mention more recent works dealing with non-homogeneous media. I will emphasize here the role played by the domain of propagation.
