Abstract:
      In this paper, we study the persistence of travelling wavefronts in a generalized Burgers-Huxley equation with long-range diffusion. When the influence of long-range diffusion effect is sufficiently small, we prove the persistence of these waves by using geometric singular perturbation theory. When the influence becomes large, the behavior of these waves can only be investigate numerically. In this case, we find that the solutions lose monotonicity by using Matlab program bvp4c. Some previous results are extended.
