  1. (, Algebra i analiz)
    null (Ed.)
    The goal of this work is to explain an unexpected feature of the expanding level sets of the solutions of a system where a half-plane in which reaction-diffusion phenomena take place exchanges mass with a line having a large diffusion of its own. The system was proposed by H. Berestycki, L. Rossi and the second author as a model of enhancement of biological invasions by a line of fast diffusion. It was observed numerically by A.-C. Coulon that the leading edge of the front, rather than being located on the line, was in the lower half-plane. We explain this behavior for a closely related free boundary problem. We construct travelling waves for this problem, and the analysis of their free boundary near the line confirms the predictions of the numerical simulations.
