Minimal wave speed in an HIV-1 virus integrodifference system
This paper is concerned with the minimal wave speed of nonconstant traveling wave solutions in an HIV-1 virus integrodifference system. Here, the traveling wave solution models the spatial spreading process of infected cells and virus. When the basic reproduction ratio of the corresponding ordinary differential system or difference system is larger than one, we establish the existence of nonconstant traveling wave solutions if the wave speed is not less than a threshold, and if the speed is smaller than the threshold, we prove the nonexistence of nonconstant traveling wave solutions. Moreover, when the basic reproduction ratio of the corresponding ordinary differential system or difference system is not larger than one, we also confirm the nonexistence of nonconstant traveling wave solutions.
