This paper investigates the existence of traveling waves and their propagation speeds for the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey reaction-diffusion models with no predator diffusion. We prove the existence of traveling waves with any positive speed. Our mathematical tool is the shooting argument in the phase space based on the Wazewski theorem.
Keywords: the Wazewski theorem., propagation speed, Traveling waves, the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system.
