Abstract
The paper is concerned with a class of nonlinear second-order hyperbolic partial differential equations. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of traveling-wave solutions are derived, and the spectra of wave-speeds for which such solutions exist are characterized. An integral equation approach is employed. Models of branching random walks, conduction in transmission lines, and biological dispersal provide illustrations.
