Abstract: We consider the one-dimensional Fisher-KPP equation with step-like initial data. Nolen, Roquejoffre, and Ryzhik showed that the solution $u$ converges at long time to a traveling wave $phi$ at a position $ildesigma(t)=2t-(3/2)logt+alph{a}_0-3sqrtpi/sqrtt$, with error $O(t^{gamma-1})$ for any $gamma>0$. With their methods, we find a refined shift $sigma(t)=ildesigma(t)+m{u}_{\ast }(logt)/t+alph{a}_1/t$ such that in the frame moving with $sigma$, the solution $u$ satisfies $u(t,x)=phi(x)+psi(x)/t+O(t^{gamma-3/2})$ for a certain profile $psi$ independent of initial data. The coefficient $alph{a}_1$ depends on initial data, but $m{u}_{\ast }=9(5-6log2)/8$ is universal, and agrees with a finding of Berestycki, Brunet, and Derrida in a closely-related problem. Furthermore, we predict the asymptotic forms of $sigma$ and $u$ to arbitrarily high order.
