Abstract

In this paper, we study the traveling waves for the ratio-dependent predator-prey model with nonlocal diffusion, which is devoted to the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solution. This model incorporates the ratio-dependent functional response into the Lotka-Volterra type system, and both species obey the logistic growth. Firstly, we construct a nice pair of upper and lower solutions when the wave speed is greater than the minimal wave speed. Then by applying Schauder's fixed point theorem with the help of suitable upper and lower solutions, we can obtain the existence of traveling waves when the wave speed is greater than the minimal wave speed. Moreover, in order to prove the limit behavior of the traveling waves at infinity, we construct a sequence that converges to the coexistence state. Finally, by using the comparison principle, we obtain the nonexistence of the traveling waves when the wave speed is greater than 0 and less than the minimal wave speed. The difficulty of this paper is to construct a suitable upper and lower solution, which is also the novelty of this paper. Under certain restricted condition, this paper concludes the existence and the nonexistence of the traveling waves for the ratio-dependent predator-prey model with nonlocal diffusion.
