Abstract:
In this talk, we will consider the propagation phenomena of a general class of partially degenerate nonlocal dispersal cooperative systems in time and space periodic habitats. We first show that such system has a finite spreading speed interval in any direction and there is a spreading speed for the partially degenerate system under certain conditions. Next, we prove that if the wave speed is greater than the spreading speed, there exists a time and space periodic traveling wave solution connecting the stable positive time and space periodic steady state and $\mathbf{0}$. Finally, we apply these results to two species partially degenerate competition systems and a partially degenerate epidemic model with nonlocal dispersal in time and space periodic habitats.
