Abstract

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 \(t^{-\frac{n}{2}} \textrm{e}^{-\epsilon _{\tau } \sigma t}\), where constant \(\sigma >0\) and \(\epsilon _{\tau }=\epsilon (\tau )\in (0,1)\) is a decreasing function for the time delay \(\tau >0\). 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 \(t^{-\frac{n}{2}}\). 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.
