We extend the class of initial conditions for scalar delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t (t,x)=u_{xx}(t,x)+f(u(t, x), u(t-h, x))$ which evolve in solutions converging to monostable traveling waves. Our approach allows to compute, in…

This paper studies forced waves for the heterogeneous Fisher-KPP equation $u_t = u_{xx} + u(a(x-ct)-u)$, where $c>0$ and $a(z)>0$ satisfies $a(-\infty)=\alpha>0=a(+\infty)$, $a'(z)\le0$ ($z\gg1$). Using ODE asymptotic analysis, we classify…
