Abstract: We study traveling wave solutions of the following chemotaxis systems,

�egin{cases}u_t=Delta u-chi_1

abla(u abla v_1)+chi_2 abla(u

abla v_2)+u(a-bu), xinmathbb{R}^N\ 0=Delta v_1-lambda_1v_1+mu_1u, xinmathbb{R}^N,\ 0=Delta v_2-lambda_2v_2+mu_2u, xinmathbb{R}^N,end{cases}

where

u (x, t), v_{1} (x, t)

and

v_{2} (x, t)

represent the population densities of a mobile species, a chemoattractant, and a chemo-repulsion, respectively. In an earlier work, we proved that there is a constant

K g e q 0

such that if

b + c h i_{2} m u_{2} > c h i_{1} m u_{1} + K

, then the steady solution

(f r a c a b, f r a c a m u_{1} b l a m b d a_{1}, f r a c a m u_{2} b l a m b d a_{2})

is asymptotically stable with respect to positive perturbations. In this paper, we prove that if

b + c h i_{2} m u_{2} > c h i_{1} m u_{1} + K

, then there exist a number

c^{*} (c h i_{1}, m u_{1}, l a m b d a_{1}, c h i_{2}, m u_{2}, l a m b d a_{2}) g e q 2 s q r t a

such that for every

c i n (c^{*} (c h i_{1}, m u_{1}, l a m b d a_{1}, c h i_{2}, m u_{2}, l a m b d a_{2}), i n f t y)

and

x i i n S^{N - 1}

, the system has a traveling wave solution

(u, v_{1}, v_{2}) = (U (x c d o t x i - c t), V_{1} (x c d o t x i - c t), V_{2} (x c d o t x i - c t))

with speed

c

connecting the constant solutions

(f r a c a b, f r a c a m u_{1} b l a m b d a_{1}, f r a c a m u_{2} b l a m b d a_{2})

and

(0, 0, 0)

, and it does not have such traveling wave solutions of speed less than

2 s q r t a

. Moreover we prove that

lim_{(chi_1,chi_2) o(0^+,0^+)}c^{*}(chi_1,mu_1,lambda_1,chi_2,mu_2,lambda_2)=�egin{cases}2sqrt a ext{if} aleq min{lambda_1, lambda_2}\ frac{a+lambda_1}{sqrt{lambda_1}} ext{if} lambda_1leq min{a, lambda_2}\ frac{a+lambda_2}{sqrt{lambda_2}} ext{if} lambda_2leq min{a, lambda_1}end{cases},forall lambda_1,lambda_2,mu_1,mu_2>0,

and

lim_{x oinfty}frac{U(x)}{e^{-sqrt{a}mu x}}=1,

where

m u

solves

s q r t a (m u + f r a c 1 m u) = c

in the interval

(0, m i n 1, s q r t f r a c l a m b d a_{1} a, s q r t f r a c l a m b d a_{2} a)

.
