Travelling waves in an infectious disease model with a fixed latent period and a spatio–temporal delay

This paper is concerned with the existence of travelling waves to an infectious disease model with a fixed latent period and a spatio–temporal delay. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of a disease-free steady state and an endemic steady state to this model is discussed. By constructing a pair of upper–lower solutions, we use the cross iteration method and the Schauder’s fixed point theorem to prove the existence of a travelling wave solution connecting the disease-free steady state and the endemic steady state. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.

Qualitative Analysis and Travelling Wave Solutions for the Generalized Pochhammer–Chree Equation with a Dissipation Term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the influence of dissipation on travelling wave solutions of the generalized Pochhammer–Chree equation with a dissipation term, and provides travelling wave solutions for this equation. Applying the theory of planar dynamical systems, we obtain ten global phase portraits of the dynamic system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Moreover, we present the relations between the properties of travelling wave solutions and the dissipation coefficient r of this equation. We find that a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a bell profile solitary wave solution or a periodic travelling wave solution when r= 0; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a kink profile solitary wave solution when |r| > 0 is large; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a damped oscillatory solution when |r| > 0 is small. Further, by using undetermined coefficient method, we get all possible bell profile solitary wave solutions and approximate damped oscillatory solutions for this equation. Error estimates indicate that the approximate solutions are meaningful.

In this Letter, we study (2 + 1)-dimensional soliton equation by using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems. Following a dynamical system approach, in different parameter regions, we depict phase portraits of a travelling wave system. Bell profile solitary wave solutions, kink profile solitary wave solutions and periodic travelling wave solutions are given. Further, we present the relations between the bounded travelling wave solutions and the energy level h. Through discussing the energy level h, we obtain all explicit formulas of solitary wave solutions and periodic wave solutions.     

Travelling waves of a three-species Lotka–Volterra food-chain model with spatial diffusion and time delays

This paper is concerned with the existence of travelling wave solutions to a three-species Lotka–Volterra food-chain model with spatial diffusion and time delays. By using the cross iteration method and Schauder’s fixed point theorem, we reduce the existence of travelling wave solutions to the existence of a pair of upper–lower solutions which are easy to construct in practice. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.     

Coinvasion–coexistence travelling wave solutions of an integro-difference competition system

This paper is concerned with the travelling wave solutions of an integro-difference competition system, of which the purpose is to model the coinvasion–coexistence process of two competitors with age structure. The existence of non-trivial travelling wave solutions is obtained by constructing generalized upper and lower solutions. The asymptotic and non-existence of travelling wave solutions are proved by combining the theory of asymptotic spreading with the idea of contracting rectangle.     

Travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations by using the first integral method

In this paper, we established travelling wave solutions for some (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations. The first integral method was used to construct travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The travelling wave solutions are expressed by the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions and the rational functions. The first integral method presents a wider applicability for handling nonlinear wave equations.     

Stability and travelling waves for a time-delayed population system with stage structure

We study a time-delayed population system with stage structure for the interaction between two species, the adult members of which are in competition. For each of the two species the model incorporates a time delay which represents the time from birth to maturity of that species. The global stability results are established for each equilibrium. The criteria for global convergence to each equilibrium are sharp and involve these delays. By using lower and upper travelling wave solutions, we show that the model has travelling wave solutions that connect the origin and the coexistence equilibrium with speeds greater than the spreading speed of each species in the absence of its rival.
