Abstract

We consider reaction-diffusion equations of KPP type in one spatial dimension, perturbed by a Fisher-Wright white noise, under the assumption of uniqueness in distribution. Examples include the randomly perturbed Fisher-KPP equations, and, where Ẇ = Ẇ(t,x) is a space-time white noise. We prove the Brunet-Derrida conjecture that the speed of traveling fronts for small ε is.
