MiS Preprint Repository
We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
Traveling wave speeds of nonlocally perturbed reaction diffusion equations
Fathi Dkhil and Angela StevensAbstract
In this paper we consider a nonlocal integro-differential model as discussed by Bates et al. It is known that unique, stable traveling waves exist for the classical reaction-diffusion model as well as for the nonlocal model and for combinations of both for certain bistable nonlinearities. Here we are concerned with the traveling wave speed and how small perturbations with a nonlocal term affect the speed of the original reaction-diffusion problem. This is done by showing that an expansion for the wave speed of the perturbed problem exists and calculating the sign of the first order coefficient.
