Traveling wave solutions in nonlocal dispersal models with nonlocal delays (Q2877776)

The authors considers equations of the class NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=\int_\mathbb RJ(x-y)[u(y,t)-u(x,t)]dy+f(u,\int_\mathbb RK(x-y)u(y,t-\tau)dy) NEWLINE\]NEWLINE (in fact, they study systems of such equations). The conventional method based on the comparison principle often fails for a determination of travelling wave solutions for these systems with large delays \(\tau\). In contrast to this conventional method, the approach, which uses upper and lower solutions is applied in the work. As a result, the existence of travelling waves solutions is proven.
