Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with the existence of traveling wave solutions for two species competitive systems with density-dependent diffusion. Since the density-dependent diffusion is a kind of nonlinear diffusion and degenerates at the origin, the methods for proving the existence of traveling wave solutions for competitive systems with linear diffusion are invalid. To overcome the degeneracy of diffusion, we construct a nonlinear invariant region Ω near the origin. Then by using the method of phase plane analysis, we prove the existence of traveling wave solutions connecting the origin and the unique coexistence state, when the speed c is large than some positive value. In addition, when one species is density-dependent diffusive while the other is linear diffusive, via the change of variables and the central manifold theorem, we prove the existence of the minimal speed c∗. And for c⩾c∗, traveling wave solutions connecting the origin and the unique coexistence state still exist. In particular, when c=c∗, we find that one component of the traveling wave solution is sharp type while the other component is smooth, which is a different phenomenon from linear diffusive systems and scalar equations.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
