Stability of Traveling Wavefronts for a Two-Component Lattice Dynamical System Arising in Competition Models

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we study a two-component Lotka–Volterra competition systemon a one-dimensional spatial lattice. By the comparison principle, together with the weighted energy, we prove that the traveling wavefronts with large speed are exponentially asymptotically stable, when the initial perturbation around the traveling wavefronts decays exponentially as j + ct → −∞, where j ∈ , t > 0, but the initial perturbation can be arbitrarily large on other locations. This partially answers an open problem by J.-S. Guo and C.-H.Wu.
