Existence of traveling waves for a nonlocal monostable equation: an abstract approach

Abstract

We consider a nonlocal analogue of the Fisher-KPP equation. We do not assume that the Borel-measure for the convolution is absolutely continuous. In order to show the main result, we modify a recursive method for abstract monotone discrete dynamical systems by Weinberger. We note that the monotone semiflow generated by the equation does not have compactness with respect to the compact-open topology. At the end, we propose a discrete model that describes the measurement process.
