Abstract:

This work investigates traveling wave solutions in a predator-prey system incorporating fear effects. We establish the existence of such solutions through Schauder's fixed-point theorem and rigorously analyze their boundedness properties. The analysis reveals that bounded traveling wave solutions emerge when the wave speed exceeds a critical threshold $c^*$. These results demonstrate that fear effects significantly influence population dynamics, particularly in spatial propagation processes. The study advances the mathematical understanding of predator-prey interactions while providing a quantitative framework to assess fear-induced ecological phenomena.

Key words: predator-prey model, fear effect, traveling wave solutions, population dynamics
