Dispersal probability distributions and the wave-front speed problem

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2002 Apr;65(4 Pt 1):041109. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.65.041109. Epub 2002 Apr 10.

Abstract

The speed and width of front solutions to reaction-dispersal models are analyzed both analytically and numerically. We perform our analysis for Laplace and Gaussian distribution kernels, both for delayed and nondelayed models. The results are discussed in terms of the characteristic parameters of the models.
