This allows to solve an open problem concerning the uniqueness of non-monotone (hence, slowly oscillating) semi-wavefronts to the KPP-Fisher equation with delay. Similarly, a broad family of the Mackey-Glass type diffusive equations is shown to possess a unique (up to translation) semi-wavefront for each admissible speed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-14T18:53:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34K12", "35K57", "92D25" ], "keywords": [ "wave uniqueness problem", "simple approach", "mackey-glass type diffusive equations", "semi-wavefront", "non-monotone monostable reaction-diffusion equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
