We study a di usive logistic system with a free boundary in ecology proposed by Mimura, Yamada and Yotsutani [10]. Motivated by the spreading-vanishing dichotomy obtained by Du and Lin [1], we suppose the spreading speed of the free boundary tends to a constant as time tends to in nity and consider the corresponding travelling wave problem. We establish the existence and uniqueness of a travelling wave solution for this free boundary problem.
Keywords: KPP type equation, free boundary problem, spreading speed., travelling wave.
