Abstract :

In this paper, we are concerned with the stability of traveling fronts in a population model with nonlocal delay and advection under the large initial perturbation (i.e. the initial perturbation around the traveling wave decays exponentially as $x\rightarrow -\infty$,  but it can be arbitrarily large in other locations). The globally exponential stability of traveling fronts is established by the weighted-energy method combining with comparison principle, including even the slower waves whose wave speed are close to the critical speed.

Keywords :

Traveling fronts, stability, weighted-energy method.
