Abstract

In this paper, we establish a system-wide 1\ell^1-norm Harnack-type inequality for positive solutions of weakly coupled nonlocal diffusion systems on R\mathbb{R}, without assuming cooperativity or irreducibility of the coupling matrices. As a primary application, we integrate this analytical tool with a rescaling argument to establish the existence of the minimal wave speed for traveling waves for a class of non-cooperative nonlocal diffusion systems with network structures. Furthermore, we derive the precise asymptotic behavior of wave profiles at negative infinity. This is achieved by combining Harnack-type inequalities and Ikehara's theorem with Riesz projections to analyze singularities of vector-valued Laplace transforms.
