摘要
In this paper, the existence of a non-trivial, positive and bounded critical traveling wave solution of a diffusive disease model, whose reaction system has infinitely many equilibria, is obtained for the first time. This gives an affirmative answer to an open problem left in Wang et al. (2012) [19]. Our result shows that the critical traveling wave in this model is a mix of front (S-component) and pulse (I-component) type. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
