A distributional solution to a hyperbolic problem arising in population dynamics.
We consider a class of Nemytskii superposition operators that covers the nonlinear part of traveling wave models from laser dynamics, population dynamics, and chemical kinetics. Our main result is the -continuity property of these operators over Sobolev-type spaces of periodic functions.
We study one-dimensional linear hyperbolic systems with -coefficients subjected to periodic conditions in time and reflection boundary conditions in space. We derive a priori estimates and give an operator representation of solutions in the whole scale of Sobolev-type spaces of periodic functions. These spaces give an optimal regularity trade-off for our problem.
