Traveling waves for nonlinear cellular neural networks with distributed delays (Q549233)

The authors study traveling waves of a nonlinear cellular neural network model, which is described by a lattice equation with finite or infinite distributed delays. They prove the existence of monostable traveling waves by employing Schauder's fixed point theorem coupled with the upper and lower solutions method. They also establish the nonexistence of monostable traveling waves and the exponential asymptotic behavior of the obtained monotone wave profiles as the wave coordinate goes to infinity. Their work improves and covers some previous results.
