Abstract: We investigate in this paper propagation phenomena for the heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equation partialtuDeltau=f(t,u), xinRN, tinR, where f=f(t,u) is a KPP monostable nonlinearity which depends in a general way on t. A typical f which satisfies our hypotheses is f(t,u)=m(t) u(1-u), with m bounded and having positive infimum. We first prove the existence of generalized transition waves (recently defined by Berestycki and Hamel, Shen) for a given class of speeds. As an application of this result, we obtain the existence of random transition waves when f is a random stationary ergodic function with respect to t. Lastly, we prove some spreading properties for the solution of the Cauchy problem.
