Wavefronts of a nonlocal state-dependent time delay model (Q2287780)

The paper is devoted to the following non-local cooperation model with state-dependent time delay and harvesting: \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u_1}{\partial t}&=d_1(J_1*u_1-u_1)+\alpha_1 e^{\gamma_1 \tau(u_1)}u_1(t-\tau(u_1)) -\beta_1u_1^2+\mu_1u_1u_2 -h_1u_1,\\ \frac{\partial u_2}{\partial t}&=d_2(J_2*u_2-u_2)+\alpha_2 e^{\gamma_2 \tau(u_2)}u_2(t-\tau(u_2)) -\beta_2u_2^2+\mu_2u_1u_2 -h_2u_2. \end{aligned} \] The authors employ Schauder's fixed point theorem to obtain the existence of traveling wave-fronts by constructing a pair of upper-lower solutions.
