Heterogeneous Diffusion and Nonlinear Advection in a One-Dimensional Fisher-KPP Problem.

The goal of this study is to provide an analysis of a Fisher-KPP non-linear reaction problem with a higher-order diffusion and a non-linear advection. We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions together with asymptotic solutions and positivity conditions. We show the existence of instabilities based on a shooting method approach. Afterwards, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions as an abstract evolution of a bounded continuous single parametric () semigroup. Asymptotic solutions based on a Hamilton-Jacobi equation are then analyzed. Finally, the conditions required to ensure a comparison principle are explored supported by the existence of a positive maximal kernel.
