Traveling Wave Solutions of a Delayed Cooperative System

Abstract

This paper deals with the dynamics of a delayed cooperative system without quasimonotonicity. Using the contracting rectangles, we obtain a sufficient condition on the stability of the unique positive steady state of the functional differential system. When the spatial domain is whole R , the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions are investigated, during which the asymptotic behavior is investigated by the contracting rectangles.
