We study the traveling wave solutions for a discrete diffusive epidemic model. The traveling wave is a mixed of front and pulse types. We derive the existence and non-existence of traveling wave solutions of this model. The proof of existence is based on constructing a suitable pair of upper and lower solutions and the application of Schauder’s fixed point theorem. By passing to the limit for a sequence of truncated problems, we are able to derive the existence of traveling waves by a delicate analysis of wave tails. Some open problems are also addressed.
