Abstract

We study the stability properties of semi-wavefronts of the KPP-Fisher equation with infinite delay \(\frac{\partial }{\partial t}u(t, x)=\frac{\partial ^2 }{\partial x^2}u(t, x)+\int _{0}^{+\infty }u(t-s, x)d\mu _1(s)\Big (1-\int _0^{+\infty }u(t-s, x)d\mu _2(s)\Big ), \, t>0, \, x\in {\mathbb R},\) where \(\mu _1\) and \(\mu _2\) are Borel measures. We show an interesting property about the non convergence in form when the delay is finite, unlike the classic convergence result to KPP-Fisher equation without delay. We also present a result about the stability of semi-wavefronts to the Neutral KPP-Fisher equation.
