Stability of non-monotone non-critical traveling waves in discrete reaction-diffusion equations with time delay

Abstract

This paper is concerned with traveling waves for temporally delayed, spatially discrete reaction-diffusion equations without quasi-monotonicity. We first establish the existence of non-critical traveling waves (waves with speeds c>c*, where c* is minimal speed). Then by using the weighted energy method with a suitably selected weight function, we prove that all noncritical traveling waves Φ(x+ct) (monotone or nonmonotone) are time-asymptotically stable, when the initial perturbations around the wavefronts in a certain weighted Sobolev space are small.
