We consider travelling wave solutions of the reaction diffusion equation with quintic nonlinearities $u_t = u_{xx} + \mu u (1 -u ) ( 1 +\alpha u + \beta u^2 +\gamma u^3)$. If the parameters $\alpha , \beta$ and $\gamma$ obey a special…

We prove existence of and construct transition fronts for a class of reaction- diffusion equations with spatially inhomogeneous Fisher-KPP type reactions and non-local diffusion. Our approach is based on finding these solutions as…
