This paper studies the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions in predator–prey models, in which there are several groups of predators that compete among different groups. We investigate the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions modeling the invasion of predators and coexistence of these species. When the positive solution of the corresponding kinetic system converges to the unique positive steady state, a threshold that is the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions is obtained. To finish the proof, we construct contracting rectangles and upper–lower solutions and apply the asymptotic spreading theory of scalar equations. Moreover, multiple propagation thresholds in the corresponding initial value problem are presented by numerical examples, and one threshold may be the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions.

This article studies the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions in an integrodifference predator-prey system that does not have the comparison principle. By constructing generalized upper and lower solutions and utilizing the theory of asymptotic spreading, we show the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions modeling the invasion process of two species by presenting the existence and nonexistence of nonconstant traveling wave solutions with any wave speeds.

This paper is concerned with the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions in a predator-prey system with distributed time delay, which does not satisfy comparison principle due to delayed intraspecific terms. By constructing upper and lower solutions, we obtain the existence of traveling wave solutions when the wave speed is the minimal wave speed. Our results complete the known conclusions and show the precisely asymptotic behavior of traveling wave solutions.

This paper is concerned with the minimal wave speed in a diffusive epidemic model with nonlocal delays. We define a threshold. By presenting the existence and the nonexistence of traveling wave solutions for all positive wave speed, we confirm that the threshold is the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions, which models that the infective invades the habitat of the susceptible. For some cases, it is proven that spatial nonlocality may increase the propagation threshold while time delay decreases the threshold.

This paper is concerned with the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions of a discrete competitive system with Lotka–Volterra type nonlinearity. By constructing upper and lower solutions, we confirm the existence of traveling wave solutions if the wave speed is the minimal wave speed. Our results complete the earlier conclusions.

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.

This paper deals with the minimal wave speed of delayed lattice dynamical systems without monotonicity in the sense of standard partial ordering in R2. By constructing upper and lower solutions appealing to the exponential ordering, we prove the existence of traveling wave solutions if the wave speed is not smaller than some threshold. The nonexistence of traveling wave solutions is obtained when the wave speed is smaller than the threshold. Therefore, we confirm the threshold is the minimal wave speed, which completes the known results.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper is concerned with the propagation dynamics in a diffusive susceptible-infective nonisolated-isolated-removed model that describes the recurrent outbreaks of childhood diseases. To model the spatial-temporal modes on disease spreading, we study the traveling wave solutions and the initial value problem with special decay condition. When the basic reproduction ratio of the corresponding kinetic system is larger than one, we define a threshold that is the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions as well as the spreading speed of some components. From the viewpoint of mathematical epidemiology, the threshold is monotone decreasing in the rate at which individuals leave the infective and enter the isolated classes.</p>

In this paper, we present some recent developments on the application of Schauder’s fixed point theorem to the existence of traveling waves for some three-species predator-prey systems. The existence of traveling waves of predator-prey systems is closely related to the invasion phenomenon of some alien species to the habitat of aboriginal species. Three different three-species predator-prey models with different invaded and invading states are presented. In this paper, we focus on the methodology of deriving the convergence of stale tail of wave profiles.
