Regular traveling waves for a nonlocal diffusion equation (Q466520)

In this paper, the authors study a nonlocal diffusion equation with a general diffusion kernel and delayed non-linearity, and obtain the existence, nonexistence and uniqueness of the regular traveling wave solutions for this nonlocal diffusion equation. The existence of traveling wave solutions is proved by upper-lower solutions (large wave speed) and passing to a limit function (minimal wave speed). For both monotone and non-monotone cases, the uniqueness up to transition is investigated. As an application of the results, the authors reconsider some models arising from population dynamics, epidemiology and neural networks.
