Travelling waves in a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation as a model for a population structured by a space variable and a phenotypical trait

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation as a model for a population structured by a space variable and a phenotypical trait. To sustain the possibility of invasion in the case where an underlying principal eigenvalue is negative, we investigate the existence of travelling wave solutions. We identify a minimal speed c∗>0c^*>0, and prove the existence of waves when c≥c∗c\geq c^* and the non existence when $0\leq c
