Nonlinear Stability of Traveling Wavefronts for a Discrete Cooperative Lotka-Volterra System With Delays北大核心CSCD

The stability of traveling wave solutions of the reaction diffusion model is a very important research topic. The globally nonlinear stability of traveling wavefronts for a discrete cooperative Lotka-Volterra system with delays was studied. More precisely, for the initial perturbation decaying exponentially to the traveling wavefronts with a relatively large speed at infinity, but arbitrarily large speeds in other positions, by means of the L2⁃ weighted energy method, the comparison principle and the squeezing technique, such traveling wavefronts were obtained and proved to be of exponentially asymptotic stability. Moreover, the problem of establishing the energy estimates was solved under the actions of the discrete dispersal operator and the time delays. In short, the extension of the weighted energy method to discrete systems with delays, enriches the relative research. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

Global stability of traveling wavefronts for nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations with time delay

This paper is concerned with the stability of traveling wavefronts for a population dynamics model with time delay. Combining the weighted energy method and the comparison principle, the global exponential stability of noncritical traveling wavefronts(waves with speeds c c_*, where c = c~* is the minimal speed) is established, when the initial perturbations around the wavefront decays to zero exponentially in space as x →-∞, but it can be allowed arbitrary large in other locations, which improves the results in [9, 18, 21].

Traveling wavefronts in temporally discrete reaction–diffusion equations with delay

This paper is concerned with the existence of traveling wavefronts of a temporally discrete reaction–diffusion equation with delay. By using monotone iteration and upper–lower solution technique, the existence of traveling wavefronts for the temporally discrete reaction–diffusion equation with delay is established. As an application, we consider an abstract diffusive equation, which includes a single species diffusive model as a particular case. Our result implies the temporally discrete model is a good approximation of corresponding continuous time model in sense of propagation.     

Spreading speeds and traveling wavefronts for second order integrodifference equations

This paper is concerned with the spreading speeds and traveling wavefronts for second order integrodifference equations. By introducing an auxiliary integrodifference system, the spreading speed is established for the integrodifference equation. It is shown that the spreading speed coincides with the minimal wave speed for monotonic traveling wavefronts. Furthermore, we prove that the traveling wavefronts are stable by applying the squeezing technique. Finally, we analyze the different effects of the delay term appearing in the integrodifference equation from the viewpoint of ecology.     

Asymptotic stability of traveling waves in a discrete convolution model for phase transitions

In a recent paper [P. Bates, A. Chmaj, A discrete convolution model for phase transition, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 150 (1999) 281-305], a discrete convolution model for Ising-like phase transition has been derived, and the existence, uniqueness of traveling waves and stability of stationary solution have been studied. This nonlocal model describes l₂-gradient flow for a Helmholts free energy functional with general range interaction. In this paper, by using the comparison principle and the squeezing technique, we prove that the traveling wavefronts with nonzero speed is globally asymptotic stable with phase shift.     

Traveling wavefronts for time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation: (II) Nonlocal nonlinearity

This is the second part of a series of study on the stability of traveling wavefronts of reaction-diffusion equations with time delays. In this paper we will consider a nonlocal time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation. When the initial perturbation around the traveling wave decays exponentially as x→−∞ (but the initial perturbation can be arbitrarily large in other locations), we prove the asymptotic stability of all traveling waves for the reaction-diffusion equation, including even the slower waves whose speed are close to the critical speed. This essentially improves the previous stability results by Mei and So [M. Mei, J.W.-H. So, Stability of strong traveling waves for a nonlocal time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A 138 (2008) 551-568] for the speed with a small initial perturbation. The approach we use here is the weighted energy method, but the weight function is more tricky to construct due to the property of the critical wavefront, and the difficulty arising from the nonlocal nonlinearity is also overcome. Finally, by using the Crank-Nicholson scheme, we present some numerical results which confirm our theoretical study.     

Traveling wavefronts for a two-species predator–prey system with diffusion terms and stage structure

In this paper, we considered an important model describing a two-species predator–prey system with diffusion terms and stage structure. By using the linearized method, we investigated the locally asymptotical stability of the nonnegative equilibria of the system and obtained the locally stable conditions. And by using the approach introduced by Canosa [J. Canosa, On a nonlinear diffusion equation describing population growth, IBM J. Res. Dev. 17 (1973) 307–313] and the method of upper and lower solutions, we studied the existence of traveling wavefronts, connecting the zero solution with the positive equilibrium of the system. Our results show that the traveling wavefronts exist and appear to be monotone. Finally, we given a conclusion to summarize the overall achievements of the work presented in the paper.     

Traveling wavefronts for time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation: (I) Local nonlinearity

In this paper, we study a class of time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation with local nonlinearity for the birth rate. For all wavefronts with the speed c>c_∗, where c_∗>0 is the critical wave speed, we prove that these wavefronts are asymptotically stable, when the initial perturbation around the traveling waves decays exponentially as x→−∞, but the initial perturbation can be arbitrarily large in other locations. This essentially improves the stability results obtained by Mei, So, Li and Shen [M. Mei, J.W.-H. So, M.Y. Li, S.S.P. Shen, Asymptotic stability of traveling waves for the Nicholson's blowflies equation with diffusion, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A 134 (2004) 579-594] for the speed with small initial perturbation and by Lin and Mei [C.-K. Lin, M. Mei, On travelling wavefronts of the Nicholson's blowflies equations with diffusion, submitted for publication] for c>c_∗ with sufficiently small delay time r≈0. The approach adopted in this paper is the technical weighted energy method used in [M. Mei, J.W.-H. So, M.Y. Li, S.S.P. Shen, Asymptotic stability of traveling waves for the Nicholson's blowflies equation with diffusion, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A 134 (2004) 579-594], but inspired by Gourley [S.A. Gourley, Linear stability of travelling fronts in an age-structured reaction-diffusion population model, Quart. J. Mech. Appl. Math. 58 (2005) 257-268] and based on the property of the critical wavefronts, the weight function is carefully selected and it plays a key role in proving the stability for any c>c_∗ and for an arbitrary time-delay r>0.     

Bistable wavefronts in a diffusive and competitive Lotka-Volterra type system with nonlocal delays

A diffusive Lotka-Volterra type model with nonlocal delays for two competitive species is considered. The existence of a traveling wavefront analogous to a bistable wavefront for a single species is proved by transforming the system with nonlocal delays to a four-dimensional system without delay. Furthermore, in order to prove the asymptotic stability (up to translation) of bistable wavefronts of the system, the existence, regularity and comparison theorem of solutions of the corresponding Cauchy problem are first established for the systems on R by appealing to the theory of abstract functional differential equations. The asymptotic stability (up to translation) of bistable wavefronts are then proved by spectral methods. In particular, we also prove that the spreading speed is unique by upper and lower solutions technique. From the point of view of ecology, our results indicate that the nonlocal delays appeared in the interaction terms are not sensitive to the invasion of species of spatial isolation.     

Traveling waves in a nonlocal dispersal population model with age-structure

This paper is concerned with the traveling waves in a single species population model which is derived by considering the nonlocal dispersal and age-structure. If the birth function is monotone, then the existence of traveling wavefront is reduced to the existence of a pair of super and subsolutions without the requirement of smoothness. It is proved that the traveling wavefront is strictly increasing and unique up to a translation. The asymptotic behavior of traveling wavefronts is also obtained. If the birth function is not monotone, the existence of traveling wave solution is affirmed by introducing two auxiliary nonlocal dispersal equations with quasi-monotonicity.     

Propagation of second order integrodifference equations with local monotonicity

This paper is concerned with the spreading speeds and traveling wavefronts of second order integrodifference equations with local monotonicity. By introducing two auxiliary integrodifference equations, the spreading speed and traveling wave solutions are studied. In particular, we obtain the nonexistence of monotone traveling wave solutions for an example if it is local monotone. These results are applied to a model which is obtained by introducing the spatial variable to a difference equation used by the International Whaling Commission.     

Asymptotic stability of traveling waves for delayed reaction-diffusion equations with crossing-monostability

This paper is concerned with the traveling waves for a class of delayed reaction-diffusion equations with crossing-monostability. In the previous papers, we established the existence and uniqueness of traveling waves which may not be monotone. However, the stability of such traveling waves remains open. In this paper, by means of the (technical) weighted energy method, we prove that the traveling wave is exponentially stable, when the initial perturbation around the wave is relatively small in a weighted norm. As applications, we consider the delayed diffusive Nicholson??s blowflies equation in population dynamics and Mackey?CGlass model in physiology.     

Wavefronts of a Nonlocal State-dependent Time Delay Model

This paper is concerned with the travelling wavefronts of a nonlocal dispersal cooperation model with harvesting and state-dependent delay,which is assumed to be an increasing function of the population density with lower and upper bound.Especially,state-dependent delay is introduced into a nonlocal reaction-diffusion model.The conditions of Schauder's fixed point theorem are proved by constructing a reasonable set of functionsΓ(see Section 2)and a pair of upper-lower solutions,so the existence of traveling wavefronts is established.The present study is continuation of a previous work that highlights the Laplacian diffusion.     

Traveling wavefronts in a bistable reaction diffusion system with spatio-temporal delay

This paper is concerned with a reaction–diffusion system with spatio-temporal delay. Under the bistable assumptions, the existence of traveling wavefronts is established by transforming the system with spatio-temporal delay to a three-dimensional reaction–diffusion system without delay. The uniqueness (up to a translation) of the traveling wavefronts is also proved by using upper and lower solutions technique. From the point of view of epidemiology, the result implies that the spatio-temporal delay appeared in the interaction term is not sensitive to the moving zone for the transition from the disease-free state to the infective state.     

Stability of Traveling Wave Fronts for Nonlocal Diffusive Systems

The paper is concerned with stability of traveling wave fronts for nonlocal diffusive systems. We adopt L1-weighted, L1- and L2-energy estimates for the perturbation systems, and show that all solutions of the Cauchy problem for the considered systems converge exponentially to traveling wave fronts provided that the initial perturbations around the traveling wave fronts belong to a suitable weighted Sobolev space.     

Nonlinear stability of traveling wave fronts for delayed reaction diffusion systems

This paper is concerned with nonlinear stability of traveling wave fronts for a delayed reaction diffusion system. We prove that the traveling wave front is exponentially stable to perturbation in some exponentially weighted L^∞ spaces, when the difference between initial data and traveling wave front decays exponentially as x→−∞, but the initial data can be suitable large in other locations. Moreover, the time decay rates are obtained by weighted energy estimates.

This paper is concerned with the stability of traveling wave fronts for a coupled system of non-local delayed lattice differential equations with a quiescent stage. It shows that under certain conditions all non-critical traveling wave fronts are globally exponentially stable, and critical ftraveling wave fronts are globally algebraically stable by applying the weighted energy method and the semi-discrete Fourier transform.
