• In this paper, we consider the multidimensional stability of planar traveling waves for a class of Lotka–Volterra competition systems with time delay and nonlocal reaction term in n–dimensional space. It is proved that, all planar traveling waves with speed c > c∗ are exponentially stable. We get accurate decay rate t − n 2 e−τ σt , where constant σ > 0 and τ = (τ ) ∈ (0, 1) is a decreasing function for the time delay τ > 0. It is indicated that time delay essentially reduces the decay rate. While, for the planar traveling waves with speed c = c∗, we prove that they are algebraically stable with delay rate t − n 2 . The proof is carried out by applying the comparison principle, weighted energy and Fourier transform, which plays a crucial role in transforming the competition system to a linear delayed differential system.
