Abstract:
In this work we study the traveling wave solutions for a generalized nonlocal
dispersal Leslie-Gower predator-prey system. Employing the truncation method and
Schauder fixed-point theorem, we establish the existence of traveling waves
connecting the semi-trivial equilibrium to the coexistence equilibrium for all wave
speeds \(c \geq c^*\), where \(c^*\) denotes the minimal wave speed. Particularly,
the right-hand tail limit of the wave profile is obtained by using the idea of a
contracting rectangle. Meanwhile, by analyzing the characteristic equation
obtained from linearizing the system at the semi-trivial equilibrium, we showed
the nonexistence of traveling waves for \(0< c< c_* \).
The main technical challenges arise from the combined effects of nonlocal dispersal
and the lack of monotonicity in the system.
