# Asymptotic behavior and uniqueness of traveling wave fronts in a delayed nonlocal dispersal competitive system

• Jianhua Huang, E-mail address: jhhuang32@nudt.edu.cn
• This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior and uniqueness of traveling wave fronts connecting two half-positive equilibria in a delayed nonlocal dispersal competitive system. We first prove the existence results by applying abstract theories. And then, we show that the traveling wave fronts decay exponentially at both infinities. At last, the strict monotonicity and uniqueness of traveling wave fronts are obtained by using the sliding method in the absent of intraspecific competitive delays. Based on the uniqueness, the exact decay rate of the stronger competitor is established under certain conditions.
