A nonlocal reaction–diffusion–advection model with free boundaries

A nonlocal diffusion single population model with advection and free boundaries is considered. Our aim is to discuss how the advection rate affects dynamic behaviors of species under the case of small advection. Firstly, the well-posed global solution is obtained. Secondly, we apply the eigenvalue problem of integro-differential operator to obtain the dichotomy and sharp criteria for spreading and vanishing, which is determined by initial habitat and initial density. Further, the asymptotic spreading speed of species is estimated when spreading happens. Namely, we get the exact asymptotic spreading speed and find that if kernel function satisfies the certain condition, then the leftward asymptotic spreading speed is less than the rightward one due to the impact of advection rate. Meanwhile, we also observe that accelerated spreading happens if the certain condition does not be satisfied.
