$m$th-order Fisher-KPP equation with free boundaries and time-aperiodic advection

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a $m$th-order Fisher-KPP equation with free boundaries and time-aperiodic advection. Considering the influence of advection term and initial conditions on the long time behavior of solutions, we obtain spreading-vanishing dichotomy, spreading-transition-vanishing trichotomy, and vanishing happens with the coefficient of advection term in small amplitude, medium-sized amplitude and large amplitude, respectively. Then, the appropriate parameters are selected in the simulation to intuitively show the corresponding theoretical results. Moreover, the wave-spreading and wave-vanishing cases of the solutions are observed in our study.
