One of the most important avenues of research in mathematical physics evolves around a differential equation, introduced by physicists Kardar, Parisi and Zhang. This equation has in empirical studies been found to describe the evolution, over time, of the front of various spatial growth processes, such as bacteria colonies and flame fronts.
When two entities, like epidemics, business brands or opinions, evolve in competition for space, can they occupy large parts of the available space simultaneously, or will one of them outcompete the other?
