Abstract

This paper is concerned with the Fisher-KPP equation with diffusion and nonlocal delay. Firstly, we establish the global existence and uniform boundedness of solutions to the Cauchy problem. Then, we establish the spreading speed for the solutions with compactly supported initial data. Finally, we investigate the long time behavior of solutions by numerical simulations.
