3 Reaction-Diffusion system We study the following reaction-diffusion system in one-dimensional space. t S = d 1 xx S βsi/(s + I); t I = d 2 xx I + βsi/(s + I) γi The basic reproduction number of the corresponding ODE system (Diekmann et al., 1990; van den Driessche & Watmough, 2002) R 0 = β/γ. Minimal traveling speed c = 2 d 2 (β γ). Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 3

4 Traveling wave solution pair Non-trivial traveling wave solutions (S(x + ct), I(x + ct)) cs = d 1 S βsi/(s + I); ci = d 2 I + βsi/(s + I) γi. Boundary conditions S( ) = S, S( ) = S, I(± ) = 0. S is non-increasing, I is non-negative and 0 S < S. Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 4

6 Fixed point Traveling wave solution (α 1 and α 2 are sufficiently large) 1 S := d 1 S + cs + α 1 S = α 1 S βsi/(s + I); 2 I := d 2 I + ci + α 2 I = α 2 I + βsi/(s + I) γi. Define F = (F 1, F 2 ): F 1 (S, I) := 1 1 [α 1S βsi/(s + I)]; F 2 (S, I) := 1 2 [α 2I + βsi/(s + I) γi]. We shall prove that F has a fixed point (S, I) in a suitable convex invariant cone.

7 Convex invariant cone Define Γ be the set of all (S, I) such that S S S + and I I I +. S + (x) = S ; S (x) = max{s (1 M 1 e ε1x ), 0}; I + (x) = e λx ; I (x) = max{e λx (1 M 2 e ε2x ), 0}, where λ is the smaller root of the characteristic equation f(λ) := d 2 λ 2 + cλ (β γ) = 0. Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 7

8 Schauder fixed point theorem F maps Γ into Γ. F is continuous and compact on Γ with respect to the norm where µ > 2λ is given. (φ 1, φ 2 ) µ := max{sup φ 1 (x) e µ x, sup φ 2 (x) e µ x }, x R x R F has a fixed point (S, I) in Γ. Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 8

9 Boundary conditions Squeeze lemma (sandwich rule) gives S( ) = S and I( ) = 0. Integral representations of 1 1 and 1 2, together with L hôpital s rule yield S ( ) = 0 and I ( ) = 0. From differential equations we obtain S ( ) = 0 and I ( ) = 0. Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 9

10 Boundary conditions Squeeze lemma (sandwich rule) gives S( ) = S and I( ) = 0. Integral representations of 1 1 and 1 2, together with L hôpital s rule yield S ( ) = 0 and I ( ) = 0. From differential equations we obtain S ( ) = 0 and I ( ) = 0. It can be proved that S is non-increasing with S( ) < S( ), and I( ) = 0. Furthermore, we have S ( ) = I ( ) = S ( ) = I ( ) = 0. Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 10

11 Non-existence of traveling waves If R 0 = β/γ > 1 and c < c := 2 d 2 (β γ), then the characteristic equation f(µ) := d 2 µ 2 + cµ + β γ is always negative on the real line. Taking two-sided Laplace transformation on d 2 I + ci (β γ)i = βi 2 /(S + I) yields f(µ) e µx I(x)dx = e µx βi(x)2 S(x) + I(x) dx. For large µ we have f(µ) + βi(x) S(x)+I(x) f(µ) + β < 0 and e µx I(x)[f(µ) + βi(x) ]dx < 0. S(x) + I(x) Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 11

12 A further extension We study the following 3-dim diffusive disease model t S = βsi d 1 xx S S + I + R ; t I = βsi d 2 xx I + γi δi; S + I + R t R = d 3 xx R + γi. We look for traveling wave solutions of the form (S(x + ct), I(x + ct), R(x + ct)). cs = d 1 S ci = d 2 I + cr = d 3 R + γi. βsi S + I + R ; βsi (γ + δ)i; S + I + R Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 12

13 Main result For any S > 0, if R 0 := β/(γ + δ) > 1, c > c := 2 d 2 (β γ δ) and d 3 < 2d (c /c) 2, then there exist S < S and a traveling wave solution (S, I, R) such that S( ) = S, S( ) = S, I(± ) = 0, R( ) = γ(s S )/(γ + δ) and R( ) = 0. Furthermore, S(x) is decreasing, 0 I(x) S S, R(x) is increasing, and (γ + δ)i(x)dx = βs(x)i(x) S(x) + I(x) + R(x) dx = c(s S ). On the other hand, if c < c or R 0 1, then there does not exist a non-trivial and non-negative traveling wave solution (S, I, R) such that S( ) = S, S( ) < S, I(± ) = 0 and R( ) = 0.

14 Convex invariant cone Construct the super- and sub-solutions: S + (x) := S ; S (x) := max{s (1 M 1 e ε1x ), 0}; I + (x) := e λ0x ; I (x) := max{e λ0x (1 M 2 e ε2x ), 0}; R + (x) := γe λ 0x γeλ 0x cλ 0 d 3 λ 2 ; R (x) := max{ 0 cλ 0 d 3 λ 2 (1 M 3 e ε3x ), 0}, 0 where λ 0 is the smaller root of the characteristic equation f(λ) := d 2 λ 2 + cλ (β γ δ) = 0. Remark: we require an additional condition d 3 < c λ 0 = 2d (c /c) 2. Traveling Waves of Diffusive Predator-Prey Systems First Previous Next Last 14

15 Future work What is S( ) = S? Is the traveling wave solution unique? What happens for the limit case R 0 > 1 and c = c? The standard argument of taking limit c c fails because I is not monotone. What if the additional condition d 3 < c λ 0 = 2d (c /c) 2 is violated? What if the model parameters are spatially periodic?
