Travelling wave fronts in nonlocal delayed reaction-diffusion systems and applications (Q834539)

Comparison principle is not adequate for delayed systems. The purpose of this paper is to address this shortcoming by studying travelling wave fronts of non-local reaction-diffusion systems with delays. Their existence is established via Schauder's Fixed Point Theorem and upper-lower solution technique. The results are then applied to the nonlocal delayed Logistic model and the delayed Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction-diffusion system and it is shown that the time delay can reduce the minimal wave speed while the non-locality can increase the minimal wave speed.
