We study the existence of traveling wave solutions and spreading properties for single-layer delayed neural field equations. We focus on the case where the kinetic dynamics are of monostable type and characterize the invasion speeds as a function of the asymptotic decay of the connectivity kernel. More precisely, we show that for exponentially bounded kernels the minimal speed of traveling waves exists and coincides with the spreading speed, which further can be explicitly characterized under a KPP type condition. We also investigate the case of algebraically decaying kernels where we prove the non-existence of traveling wave solutions and show the level sets of the solutions eventually locate in-between two exponential functions of time. The uniqueness of traveling waves modulo translation is also obtained.

We determine the essential spectrum of certain types of linear operators which arise in the study of the stability of steady state or traveling wave solutions in coupled map lattices. The basic tool is the Gelfand transformation which enables us to determine the essential spectrum completely.

In this paper, we use a dynamical systems approach to prove the existence of traveling waves solutions for the Fisher–Kolmogorov density-dependent equation. Moreover, we prove the existence of upper and lower bounds for these traveling wave solutions found previously. Finally, we present a particular example which has several applications in the mathematical biology field.

The generalized HD type equation is studied by using the bifurcation method of dynamical systems. From a dynamic point of view, the existence of different kinds of traveling waves which include periodic loop soliton, periodic cusp wave, smooth periodic wave, loop soliton, cuspon, smooth solitary wave, and kink-like wave is proved and the sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions in different regions of the parametric space are given. Also, all possible exact parametric representations of the bounded waves are presented and their relations are stated.

We numerically investigate periodic traveling wave solutions for a diffusive predator–prey system with landscape features. The landscape features are modeled through the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition which is imposed at the edge of the obstacle domain. To effectively treat the Dirichlet boundary condition, we employ a robust and accurate numerical technique by using a boundary control function. We also propose a robust algorithm for calculating the numerical periodicity of the traveling wave solution. In numerical experiments, we show that periodic traveling waves which move out and away from the obstacle are effectively generated. We explain the formation of the traveling waves by comparing the wavelengths. The spatial asynchrony has been shown in quantitative detail for various obstacles. Furthermore, we apply our numerical technique to the complicated real landscape features.

It was reported in the literature that some nonlinear wave equations have the so-called loop- and inverted-loop-soliton solutions, as well as the so-called loop-periodic solutions. Are these true mathematical solutions or just numerical artifacts? To answer the question, this article investigates all traveling wave solutions in the parameter space for three typical nonlinear wave equations from a theoretical viewpoint of dynamical systems. Dynamical analysis shows that all these loop- and inverted-loop-solutions are merely visual illusion of numerical artifacts. To reveal the nature of such special phenomena, this article also offers the mathematical parametric representations of these traveling wave solutions precisely in analytic forms.

We consider the orbital stability of solitary traveling wave solutions of an equation describing the free surface waves of moderate amplitude in the shallow water regime. Firstly, we rewrite this equation in Hamiltonian form and construct two invariants of motion. Then using the abstract stability theorem of solitary waves proposed by Grillakis et al. (1987), we prove that the solitary traveling waves of the equation under consideration are orbital stable.

We investigate the existence and properties of traveling wave solutions for the hyperbolic-elliptic system of conservation laws describing the dynamics of van der Waals fluids. The model is based on a constitutive equation of state containing two inflection points and incorporates nonlinear viscosity and capillarity terms. A global description of the traveling wave solutions is provided. We distinguish between classical and non-classical trajectories and, for the latter, the existence and properties of kinetic functions is investigated. An earlier work in this direction (cf. [4]) was restricted to dealing with one inflection point only. Specifically, given any left-hand state and any shock speed (within some admissible range), we prove the existence of a non-classical traveling wave for a sequence of parameter values representing the ratio of viscosity and capillarity. Our analysis exhibits a surprising lack of monotonicity of traveling waves. The behavior of these non-classical trajectories is also investigated numerically.

The bounded traveling waves solutions of a (3+1) dimensions mKdv-ZK equation be investigated by using method of dynamical systems. The exact expressions of bounded periodic waves, solitary waves and kink waves are given. Under fixed parameter condition, the planar simulation graphs of the bounded periodic waves, solitary waves and kinks are obtained by using the software Mathematica 7.
