Abstract – In this paper, the definitions of front type and a
pair of generalized upper and lower solutions are firstly described. Then, Leslie-Gower predator-prey model and the
properties of kernel and growth rate function are expressed. The
suitable upper and lower solutions combined with the Schauders *
fixed-point theorem, fatous lemma is utilized to solve the existence of nonnegative solution. Additionally, under the
appropriate parameter assumptions, the existence of front type
forced wave is verified.
Keywords – Schauders fixed-point theorem; fatous lemma; upper and lower solutions; compact; precompact; integration

- INTRODUCTION
Wave propagation is an important phenomenon in many scientific areas such as physics, biology and ecology. Reaction- diffusion models are commonly used to describe how a quantity, such as a biological population or chemical substance, spreads in space over time. In classical theory, traveling waves
move with a constant speed that is determined only by the
III. LISLIE-GOWER PREDATOR-PREY MODEL
In this section, the forced waves of Leslie-Gower predator- prey model in shifting habitats with nonlocal dispersal is focused. First, we consider the following diffusive predator- prey model with one prey and one predator:
internal properties of the system. However, in real world
situation, wave propagation is often influenced by the external
effects. These effects may include environmental forcing,
boundary conditions. Front-type forced waves describe wave solution that appear as moving fronts connecting two different

CONCLUSION
We calculate the existence of nonnegative solution for Leslie-Gower predator-prey model by constructing appropriate upper-lower solution and employing fixed-point theorems. The conditions for the existence of front type the Leslie- Gower formulation are established. Our analysis demonstrate that climate change speed models as a shifting environment. Specifically, it is shown that: Front-type forced waves emerge when populations respond to the environmental shifts by forming monotone traveling wave profiles, capturing the invasion-extinction transition.
