Then a complete solution to the problem of existence of semi-wavefronts is provided. We prove next that the semi-wavefronts are in fact wavefronts (i.e. additionally $\\phi(+\\infty)=1$) if $c \\geq 2$ and $\\tau \\leq 1$; our proof uses dynamical properties of some auxiliary one-dimensional map with the negative Schwarzian. The analysis of the fronts' asymptotic expansions at infinity is another key ingredient of our approach. It allows to indicate the maximal domain ${\\mathcal D}_n$ of $(\\tau,c)$ where the existence of non-monotone wavefronts can be expected. Here we show that the problem of wavefront's existence is closely related to the Wright's global stability conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-03T20:18:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34K12", "35K57", "92D25" ], "keywords": [ "kpp-fisher delayed equation", "slowly oscillating wavefronts", "semi-wavefront", "wrights global stability conjecture", "auxiliary one-dimensional map" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.0484H" } } }
