Travelling waves of a delayed SIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate and spatial diffusion.

This paper is concerned with the existence of travelling waves to a SIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate, spatial diffusion and time delay. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of a disease-free steady state and an endemic steady state to this syst...
