Differential Harnack estimates for Fisher's equation

Xiaodong Cao, Bowei Liu, Ian Pendleton and Abigail Ward

Vol. 290 (2017), No. 2, 273–300
Abstract

We derive several differential Harnack estimates (also known as Li–Yau–Hamilton-type estimates) for positive solutions of Fisher’s equation. We use the estimates to obtain lower bounds on the speed of traveling wave solutions and to construct classical Harnack inequalities.
