Traveling Wave Solutions of Competitive Models with Free Boundaries

Analysis of PDEs 2013-07-23 v1

Abstract

We study two systems of reaction diffusion equations with monostable or bistable type of nonlinearity and with free boundaries. These systems are used as multi-species competitive model. For two-species models, we prove the existence of a traveling wave solution which consists of two semi-waves intersecting at the free boundary. For three-species models, we also prove the existence of a traveling wave solution which, however, consists of two semi-waves and one compactly supported wave in between, each intersecting with its neighbor at the free boundary.
