Abstract

A class of integral equations without monotonicity is investigated. It is shown that there is a spreading speed c* > 0 for such an integral equation, and that its limiting integral equation admits a unique traveling wave (up to translation) with speed c ≥ c* and no traveling wave with c < c*. These results are also applied to some nonlocal reaction-diffusion population models.
