Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate properties of traveling wave fronts for three species Lotka–Volterra system: the asymptotic behavior and uniqueness. Applying the Ikehara’s theorem, we determine the exponential rates of traveling wave fronts at the negative infinity. We further investigate the uniqueness of traveling wave fronts with the help of the sliding method.
