Singular Limits of the KPP Equation in an Infinite Cylinder

Abstract I'll discuss the asymptotic behavior of a reaction diffusion equation of KPP type with Neumann boundary conditions containing a small parameter. The solutions to this equation converge to the indicator function of a set G as the small parameter goes to zero. The set G can be characterized through the unique viscosity solution of a variational inequality involving a Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
