Minimal wave speeds of delayed dispersal predator-prey systems with stage structure

Shuxia Pan

Abstract:
This article concerns the minimal wave speed of delayed predator-prey systems with nonlocal dispersal and stage structure. By the method of upper and lower solutions, we prove the existence of positive traveling wave solutions. With the help of a contracting rectangle, we establish the limit behavior of traveling wave solutions. The nonexistence of traveling wave solutions is obtained using the theory of asymptotic spreading, and therefore, the minimal wave speed is obtained.
