Conjecture on finite-population traveling waves and propagation speed
Conjecture on finite-population traveling waves and propagation speed
Let be a compactly supported initial distribution, let denote the position of the particle of rank , and let be the population distribution in the moving frame. Write
Finite-population traveling-wave conjecture. There exists a propagation speed such that, in an appropriate convergence sense, ; for every compact subset , converges in law on to a stationary distribution ; and .
These assertions formalize the numerically observed linear spreading, local convergence to a stationary traveling-wave profile in the moving frame, and convergence of the finite-population speed to the deterministic speed. The source presents them as open problems, and the precise meaning of the convergence in the first assertion remains unspecified.
