Abstract

In this paper, we study the minimal speed (spreading speed) selection mechanism of traveling waves to a periodic diffusive Lotka-Volterra model with monostable nonlinearity. The method of upper and lower solutions pair is applied to establish the existence of traveling waves. We prove that the nature of nonlinear selection is to find a lower solution pair with the first species decaying in a faster rate. By novel constructions of various upper and lower solutions, we obtain a number of new results on the minimal speed determinacy. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate all of our discoveries.
