Traveling wavefronts for a discrete diffusive Lotka-Volterra competition system with nonlocal nonlinearities

Zhi-Jiao Yang, Guo-Bao Zhang, Juan He

Abstract:
This article concerns the traveling wavefronts of a discrete diffusive Lotka-Volterra competition system with nonlocal nonlinearities. We first prove that there exists a \(c_*>0\) such that when the wave speed is large than or equals to \(c_*\), the system admits an increasing traveling wavefront connecting two boundary equilibria by the upper-lower solutions method. Furthermore, we prove that (i) all traveling wavefronts with speed \(c>c^{*}(>c_*)\) are globally stable with exponential convergence rate \(t^{-1/2}e^{-\varepsilon_{\tau}\sigma t}\), where \(\sigma>0\) and \(\varepsilon_{\tau}=\varepsilon(\tau)\in (0,1)\) is a decreasing function for the time delay \(\tau>0\); (ii) the traveling wavefronts with speed \(c=c^{*}\) are globally algebraically stable in the algebraic form \(t^{-1/2}\). The approaches are the weighted energy method, the comparison principle and Fourier transform.
