We review a series of key travelling front problems in reaction–diffusion systems with a time-delayed feedback, appearing in ecology, nonlinear optics and neurobiology. For each problem, we determine asymptotic approximations for the wave shape and its speed. Particular attention is devoted to their validity and all analytical solutions are compared to solutions obtained numerically. We also extend the work by Erneux et al. (Erneux et al. 2010 Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 368 , 483–493 ( doi:10.1098/rsta.2009.0228 )) by considering the case of a slowly propagating front subject to a weak delayed feedback. The delay may either speed up the front in the same direction or reverse its direction. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nonlinear dynamics of delay systems’.

The eigenvalues and stability of the delayed reaction-diffusion systems are considered using the algebraic methods. Firstly, new algebraic criteria to determine the pure imaginary eigenvalues are derived by applying the matrix pencil and the linear operator methods. Secondly, a practical checkable criteria for the asymptotic stability are introduced.

Abstract We consider an abstract nonlinear multi-valued reaction-diffusion system with delay and, using some compactness arguments coupled with metric fixed point techniques, we prove some sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one C0-solution.
