Spreading speeds and traveling waves for periodic evolution systems

Abstract The theory of spreading speeds and traveling waves for monotone autonomous semiflows is extended to periodic semiflows in the monostable case. Then these abstract results are applied to a periodic system modeling man–environment–man epidemics, a periodic time-delayed and diffusive equation, and a periodic reaction–diffusion equation on a cylinder.
