Fisher-KPP equation in spatially and temporally inhomogeneous media
The Fisher-KPP equation is probably the simplest model of combustion and population biology, among other things. It proved to be a useful tool for understanding of, e.g. ways infectious diseases spread, and nuclear combustion in stars. In these lectures we describe behavior of solutions of the Fisher-KPP equation in spatially and temporally periodic media.
