Abstract

This paper is concerned with time-delayed reaction–diffusion equations on half space with boundary effect. When the birth rate function is non-monotone, the solution of the delayed equation subjected to appropriate boundary condition is proved to converge time-exponentially to a certain (monotone or non-monotone) traveling wave profile with wave speed , where is the minimum wave speed, when the initial data is a small perturbation around the wave, while the wave is shifted far away from the boundary so that the boundary layer is sufficiently small. The adopted method is the technical weighted-energy method with some new flavors to handle the boundary terms. However, when the birth rate function is monotone under consideration, then, for all traveling waves with , no matter what size of the boundary layers is, these monotone traveling waves are always globally stable. The proof approach is the monotone technique and squeeze theorem but with some new development.
