The Bramson delay in the non-local Fisher-KPP equation
Abstract
We consider the non-local Fisher-KPP equation modeling a population with individuals competing with each other for resources with a strength related to their distance, and obtain the asymptotics for the position of the invasion front starting from a localized population. Depending on the behavior of the competition kernel at infinity, the location of the front is either $2t - ({3}/2)\log t + O(1)$, as in the local case, or $2t - O(t^β)$ for some explicit $β\in (0,1)$. Our main tools here are alocal-in-time Harnack inequality and an analysis of the linearized problem with a suitable moving Dirichlet boundary condition. Our analysis also yields, for any $β\in(0,1)$, examples of Fisher-KPP type non-linearities $f\_β$ such that the front for the localFisher-KPP equation with reaction term $f\_β$ is at $2t - O(t^β)$.
