| contents | We study a Fisher-KPP equation with spatially periodic diffusion and reaction terms. We identify a class of periodic media for which the equation admits an explicit, closed-form solution. Through a nonlinear change of variables, the problem is reduced to the homogeneous Fisher-KPP equation, allowing us to construct an exact pulsating traveling front that connects the positive periodic stationary state to 0. We also derive an explicit expression for the asymptotic spreading speed and establish new asymptotic and comparison results. Finally, combining our change of variables and eigenvalue transform with existing results on KPP fronts in periodic media, we extend Bramson-type logarithmic delay results to the case of heterogeneous periodic diffusion. |
