Travelling fronts in time-delayed reaction-diffusion systems. (English) Zbl 1464.35150

Summary: We review a series of key travelling front problems in reaction-diffusion systems with a time-delayed feedback, appearing in ecology, nonlinear optics and neurobiology. For each problem, we determine asymptotic approximations for the wave shape and its speed. Particular attention is devoted to their validity and all analytical solutions are compared to solutions obtained numerically. We also extend the work by the last author et al. [Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond., Ser. A, Math. Phys. Eng. Sci. 368, No. 1911, 483–493 (2010; Zbl 1197.35301)] by considering the case of a slowly propagating front subject to a weak delayed feedback. The delay may either speed up the front in the same direction or reverse its direction.
