title: Propagation of HBV with spatial dependence.
abstract: A mathematical model is proposed to simulate the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with spatial dependence. The existence of traveling waves is established via the geometric singular perturbation method. Numerical simulations show that the model admits non-monotone traveling profiles. Influences of various parameters on the minimum wave speed are also discussed.
