Traveling wave solutions of nonlocal delay reaction-diffusion equations without local quasimonotonicity

Shuxia Pan

Abstract:
This article concerns the traveling wave solutions of nonlocal delay reaction-diffusion equations without local quasimonotonicity. The existence of traveling wave solutions is obtained by constructing upper-lower solutions and passing to a limit function. The nonexistence of traveling wave solutions is also established by the theory of asymptotic spreading. The results are applied to a food limit model with nonlocal delays, which completes and improves some known results.
