Abstract

Employing some classical analysis methods, in this paper we establish the global boundedness of R-component of traveling wave solutions for a discrete diffusion susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) epidemic model with delay. This result is a sufficient condition to obtain the limit behavior of traveling wave solutions at far fields. Meanwhile, the present results improve our recent work.
