摘 要：

In this talk, I will report our recent research on the propagation dynamics of a large class of nonautonomous reaction-diffusion equations with the time-dependent shifting speed having a uniform mean c.  Under the assumption that in two directions of the spatial variable there are two limiting equations with one admitting a spreading speed c* and the other being asymptotic to annihilation, we show that the solutions with compactly supported initial data go to zero eventually when c is less than or equal to -c*, the leftward spreading speed is -c* when c is greater than -c*, and the rightward spreading speed is c and c* when c is in the interval (-c*,c*) and c is greater than or equal to c*, respectively. We also establish the existence, uniqueness and nonexistence of the forced traveling wave in terms of the sign of c-c*. This talk is based on a joint work with Dr. Lei Zhang.
