Bistable traveling waves of a nonlocal reaction–diffusion model with non-monotone birth pulse

Abstract

This paper considers a nonlocal reaction–diffusion model with a non-monotone birth pulse and a bistable response term. We define two monotone semiflows and, using the comparison argument, obtain the threshold dynamics between persistence and extinction in bounded domain. Moreover, we apply the asymptotic fixed point theorem to show the existence of bistable traveling wave solutions.
