Spreading speeds in rapidly and slowly varying almost periodic media

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the spreading speeds of Fisher-KPP equations in rapidly and slowly varying almost periodic settings respectively. Thanks to the variational formula for the spreading speeds involving generalized principal eigenvalue, we are able to concentrate on the homogenization problem of certain Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We will present also the limits and the convergence rate of the spreading speeds. At last, we will consider the effect on the spreading speeds after adding a fixed reaction term.
