Traveling wave fronts in a single species model with cannibalism and strongly nonlocal effect

In this paper we studied traveling front solutions of a single species model with cannibalism and nonlocal effect. For a particular class of kernels, the existence of traveling front solutions connecting the extinction state with the positive equilibrium was established for the strongly nonlocal effect case. Our approach was to reformulate it as a singular perturbed problem, and then tackle this problem by using dynamical systems techniques, in particular, geometric singular perturbation theory and Fenichel's invariant manifold theory.
