Consider the following single neural network system \[ u(x,t)=\int_{-\infty}^tds\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} h(t-s)k(x-y)S(u(y,s))\,dy,\tag{1} \] where \(x\in{\mathbb R},t\in {\mathbb R}, h\in C^1([0,\infty),(0,\infty)) \) with \[ \int_0^{\infty}h(t)\,dt=1,\quad \int_0^{\infty}th(t)\,dt<\infty; \] \(k\in C({\mathbb R},[0,\infty))\) with \[ \int_{\mathbb R}k(x)\,dx=1,\quad k'\in L^1({\mathbb R}),\quad\text{supp} J\bigcap (0,\infty)\neq \emptyset \neq\text{supp}\;J\bigcap (-\infty, 0); \] \(S\in C^1([0,1])\) with \(S'(u)>0\) for \(u\in[0,1]\); \(f(u)=S(u)-u\) has precisely three zeros at \(u=0,a,1\;(0<a<1)\) satisfying \(f'(0)<0,f'(1)<0\). If \(h(t)=e^{-t}, \;k\ast S(u)(x,t)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}k(x-y)S(u(y,t))\,dy\), then (1) is equivalent to \[ \frac{\partial u(x,t)}{\partial t}+u(x,t)=k\ast S(u)(x,t).\eqno(2) \] By letting \(J_c=\int_0^{\infty}h(s)k(\cdot +cs)\,ds\), \(J_c\) has the same properties as \(k\). If \(u=u(x-ct)\) is a travelling wave solution of (1), then \(\phi_c(x-\alpha(c)t)\) is a travelling wave solution of (2) with \(k\) replaced by \(J_c\), where \(\phi_c\) is the profile and \(\alpha(c)\) is the wave speed. Using the conclusion by \textit{X. Chen} [Proc. US-Chinese Conf.: Differential equations and applications, Hangzhou (P. W. Bates (ed.) et al.), 54--62 (1997; Zbl 0934.35029), Adv. Differ. Equ. 2 , 125--160 (1997)] for (2), the author obtains the existence and uniqueness of travelling wave solutions for (1) and shows that all travelling wave solutions are monotonic.
