Leslie-Gower predator-prey system; nonlocal dispersal; traveling wave solution

Yu-Xia Hao, Zi-Ming Liu

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.
