We establish the variational principle of
Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (KPP) front speeds
in a one dimensional random drift which is a mean zero stationary
ergodic process with mixing property and local Lipschitz continuity.
To prove the variational principle, we use the path
integral representation of solutions,
hitting time and large deviation estimates of the
associated stochastic flows.
The variational principle allows us to derive upper and lower bounds of the
front speeds which decay according to a power law in the limit of large root mean
square amplitude of the drift. This scaling law is different from
that of the effective diffusion (homogenization) approximation
which is valid for front speeds in incompressible periodic advection.
