Abstract: This paper concerns the semi-wavefronts (i.e. bounded solutions u=phi(xu+ct)>0, |u|=1, satisfying phi(infty)=0) to the delayed KPP-Fisher equation u_t(t,x) = Delta u(t,x) + u(t,x)(1-u(t- au,x)), u geq 0, x in R^m. eqno(*) First, we show that each semi-wavefront should be either monotone or slowly oscillating. Then a complete solution to the problem of existence of semi-wavefronts is provided. We prove next that the semi-wavefronts are in fact wavefronts (i.e. additionally phi(+infty)=1) if cgeq2 and auleq1; our proof uses dynamical properties of some auxiliary one-dimensional map with the negative Schwarzian. The analysis of the fronts' asymptotic expansions at infinity is another key ingredient of our approach. It allows to indicate the maximal domain mathcalDn of (au,c) where the existence of non-monotone wavefronts can be expected. Here we show that the problem of wavefront's existence is closely related to the Wright's global stability conjecture.
