Abstract
We consider equation , when has exactly two fixed points: and . Assuming that is unimodal and has negative Schwarzian, we indicate explicitly a closed interval such that has at least one (possibly, nonmonotone) travelling front propagating at velocity for every . Here is finite and . Every time when is not empty, the minimal bound is sharp so that there are not wavefronts moving with speed . In contrast to reported results, the interval can be compact, and we conjecture that some of equations can indeed have an upper bound for propagation speeds of travelling fronts. As particular cases, Eq. includes the diffusive Nicholson's blowflies equation and the Mackey-Glass equation with nonmonotone nonlinearity.
