This paper is concerned with the spreading speed of a food-limited population model with delay.First,the existence of the solution of Cauchy problem is proved.Then,the spreading speed of solutions with compactly supported initial data is investigated by using the general Harnack inequality.Finally,we present some numerical simulations and investigate the dynamical behavior of the solution.

SPREADING SPEED IN THE FISHER-KPP EQUATION WITH NONLOCAL DELAY

This paper is concerned with the Fisher-KPP equation with diffusion and nonlocal delay.Firstly,we establish the global existence and uniform boundedness of solutions to the Cauchy problem.Then,we establish the spreading speed for the solutions with compactly supported initial data.Finally,we investigate the long time behavior of solutions by numerical simulations.

Spreading Speed for a Periodic Reaction-diffusion Model with Nonmonotone Birth Function

A reaction-diffusion model for a single species with age structure and nonlocal reaction for periodic time t is derived. Some results about the model with monotone birth function are firstly introduced, and then by constructing two auxiliary equations and squeezing method, the spreading speed for the system with nonmonotone birth function is obtained.

Spreading Speeds of Nonlocal KPP Equations in Heterogeneous Media

This paper is devoted to studying the asymptotic behavior of the solution to nonlocal Fisher-KPP type reaction diffusion equations in heterogeneous media.The kernel K is assumed to depend on the media.First,we give an estimate of the upper and lower spreading speeds by generalized principal eigenvalues.Second,we prove the existence of spreading speeds in the case where the media is periodic or almost periodic by showing that the upper and lower generalized principal eigenvalues are equal.

Spreading Speeds of Time-Dependent Partially Degenerate Reaction-Diffusion Systems

This paper is concerned with the spreading speeds of time dependent partially degenerate reaction-diffusion systems with monostable nonlinearity.By using the principal Lyapunov exponent theory,the author first proves the existence,uniqueness and stability of spatially homogeneous entire positive solution for time dependent partially degenerate reaction-diffusion system.Then the author shows that such system has a finite spreading speed interval in any direction and there is a spreading speed for the partially degenerate system under certain conditions.The author also applies these results to a time dependent partially degenerate epidemic model.

Spatial propagation in an epidemic model with nonlocal diffusion:The influences of initial data and dispersals

This paper studies an epidemic model with nonlocal dispersals.We focus on the influences of initial data and nonlocal dispersals on its spatial propagation.Here,initial data stand for the spatial concentrations of the infectious agent and the infectious human population when the epidemic breaks out and the nonlocal dispersals mean their diffusion strategies.Two types of initial data decaying to zero exponentially or faster are considered.For the first type,we show that spreading speeds are two constants whose signs change with the number of elements in some set.Moreover,we find an interesting phenomenon:the asymmetry of nonlocal dispersals can influence the propagating directions of the solutions and the stability of steady states.For the second type,we show that the spreading speed is decreasing with respect to the exponentially decaying rate of initial data,and further,its minimum value coincides with the spreading speed for the first type.In addition,we give some results about the nonexistence of traveling wave solutions and the monotone property of the solutions.Finally,some applications are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

A periodic reaction-diffusion system modelling man-environment-man epidemics

The purpose of this work is to study the spatial dynamics of a periodic reaction-diffusion epidemic model arising from the spread of oral-faecal transmitted diseases. We first show that the disease spreading speed is coincident with the minimal wave speed for monotone periodic travelling waves. Then we obtain a threshold result on the global attractivity of either zero or the positive periodic solution in a bounded spatial domain.
