Résumé
We focus on the spreading properties of solutions of monostable reaction-diffusion equations. Initial data are assumed to have heavy tails, which tends to accelerate the invasion phenomenon. On the other hand, the nonlinearity involves a weak Allee effect, which tends to slow down the process. We study the balance between the two effects. For algebraic tails, we prove the exact separation between " no acceleration and acceleration ". This implies in particular that, for tails exponentially unbounded but lighter than algebraic , acceleration never occurs in presence of an Allee effect. This is in sharp contrast with the KPP situation [19]. When algebraic tails lead to acceleration despite the Allee effect, we also give an accurate estimate of the position of the level sets.
