| contents | We consider the solution to the scalar Fisher-KPP equation with front-like initial data, focusing on the location of its level sets at large times, particularly their deviation from points moving at the known spreading speed. We consider an intermediate case for the tail of the initial data, where the decay rate approaches, up to a polynomial term, that of the traveling wave with minimal speed. This approach enables us to capture deviations of the form $-r \ln t$ with $r \< \frac{3}{2}$, which corresponds to a logarithmic delay when $0 \< r \< \frac{3}{2}$ and a logarithmic advance when $r \< 0$. The critical case $r=\frac 32$ is also studied, revealing an extra $\mathcal O(\ln \ln t)$ term. Our arguments involve the construction of new sub- and super-solutions based on preliminary formal computations on the equation with a moving Dirichlet condition. Finally, convergence to the traveling wave with minimal speed is addressed. |
