Asymptotics of the KPP minimal speed within large drift

Abstract

This Note is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the minimal KPP speed of propagation for reaction- advection-diffusion equations with a large drift Mq (where q is the advection). We first give the limit of the speed as M\rightarrow+\infty in any space dimension N. Then, we give the necessary and sufficient condition that the advection field should satisfy so that the speed acts as O(M) as M \rightarrow+\infty.
