Abstract: We focus on the (sharp) threshold phenomena arising in some reaction-diffusion equations supplemented with some compactly supported initial data. In the so-called ignition and bistable cases, we prove the first sharp quantitative estimate on the (sharp) threshold values. Furthermore, numerical explorations allow to conjecture some refined estimates. Last we provide related results in the case of a degenerate monostable nonlinearity "not enjoying the hair trigger effect".
