Abstract
In this paper, we study the traveling wave solutions and minimal wave speed for a class of non-cooperative reaction–diffusion systems consisting of three equations. Based on the eigenvalues, a pair of upper–lower solutions connecting only the invasion-free equilibrium are constructed and the Schauder's fixed-point theorem is applied to show the existence of traveling semi-fronts for an auxiliary system. Then the existence of traveling semi-fronts of original system is obtained by limit arguments. The traveling semi-fronts are proved to connect another equilibrium if natural birth and death rates are not considered and to be persistent if these rates are incorporated. Then non-existence of bounded traveling semi-fronts is obtained by two-sided Laplace transform. Then the above results are applied to some disease-transmission models and a predator–prey model.
