Abstract

By considering the random migration of individuals and the period of consuming the captured nutrient, we first introduce the nonlocal delays into a bio-reactor model. The persistence of nontrivial traveling wave solutions then is proved by combining the geometric singular perturbation theory with the center manifold theorem. From the viewpoint of biology, our results indicate that the nonlocality induced by small average delays is harmless to the growth of the species.
