Propagation dynamics for a reaction–diffusion system with nonlinear competition

This work is concerned with a competition system with nonlinear coupled reaction terms. By using Schauder’s fixed point theorem, we first prove the existence of a traveling wave solution connecting two uniform stationary states that do not satisfy the competitive ordering. Then some asymptotic spreading properties of the two species are obtained, and on this basis, we derive the multiplicity of asymptotic spreading speed of the considered system. Finally, numerical simulations corroborate the existence of traveling wave solutions satisfying different asymptotic conditions, which are theoretically established by the current paper and the reference.
