Travelling wavefronts in nonlocal diffusion equations with nonlocal delay effects

This paper deals with the existence, monotonicity, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of travelling wavefronts for a class of temporally delayed, spatially nonlocal diffusion equations

Relaxation oscillations, pulses, and travelling waves in the diffusive Volterra delay-differential equation

The diffusive Volterra equation with discrete or continuous delay is studied in the limit of long delays using matched asymptotic expansions. In the case of continuous delay, the procedure was explicitly carried out for general normalized kernels of the form Sigma/sub n=p//sup N/ g/sub n/(t/sup n//T/sup n+1/)e/sup -t/T/, pges2, in the limit in which the strength of the delayed regulation is much greater than that of the instantaneous one, and also for g/sub n/=delta/sub n2/ and any strength ratio. Solutions include homogeneous relaxation oscillations and travelling waves such as pulses, periodic wavetrains, pacemakers and leading centers, so that the diffusive Volterra equation presents the main features of excitable media
