Travelling waves in the Nicholson’s blowflies equation with spatio-temporal delay

Abstract: In this paper, Nicholson’s blowflies equation with diffusion and delay is investigated. By taking four different kinds of delay kernels and defining four corresponding characteristic equations, the existence of travelling wave solutions for Nicholson’ blowflies equation is obtained by employing the monotone iteration technique as well as the upper and lower solution method.
