Wave propagation for a two-component lattice dynamical system arising in strong competition models (Q633072): Difference between revisions

The authors study a Lotka-Volterra type competition system with bistable nonlinearity in which the habitat is divided into discrete niches. They show that there exist non-monotone stationary solutions when the migration coefficients are sufficiently small. Also, they prove that the propagation failure phenomenon occurs. Finally, we show that nonzero speed wave profiles are monotone by investigating the asymptotic behavior of tails of wave profiles. Moreover, the nonzero wave speed is unique in the sense that the wave cannot propagate with two different nonzero wave speeds.
