Selection at the pushed-to-pulled transition

From papers

Let utru_\mathrm{tr} be a pushed-to-pulled transition front. A pushed-to-pulled transition front is a front at the boundary between pushed and pulled invasion, characterized here by the marginal stability conditions described in the surrounding discussion. Selection at the pushed-to-pulled transition. utru_\mathrm{tr} should be a selected front, with position correction

h(t)=12ηlinlogt+O(1).h(t)=-\frac{1}{2\eta_\mathrm{lin}}\log t+\mathrm{O}(1).

Selection at this transition is known for scalar second-order equations using comparison principles, while the analogous result for systems remains open; uniform asymptotics across the pushed-to-pulled transition are also open.
