Traveling waves for a three-species competition system with two weak aboriginal competitors. (Q2674473)

The authors consider the traveling wave solutions for a three species competition system with two weak aboriginal competitors and one strong alien competitor and are concerned with the existence of traveling waves such that these two co-existence aboriginal competitors are wiped out by the invading alien strong competitor. First, they derive the existence of wave profiles based on an application of Schauder's fixed point theorem with the help of constructing suitable generalized upperlower solutions to capture the unstable wave tail limit. Then a new method for deriving the stable wave tail limit is introduced. Finally, the minimal invading speed is characterized.
