Nonlinear stability of traveling wavefronts in an age-structured population model with nonlocal dispersal and delay

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear stability of traveling wavefronts for a single species population model with nonlocal dispersal and age structure. By using the weighted energy method together with the comparison principle, we prove that the traveling wavefront is exponentially stable, when the initial perturbation around the wavefronts decays exponentially at –∞, but it can be arbitrarily large in other locations. In particular, our result implies that the time delay is harmless for stability of traveling wavefronts of the model.
