By using the geometric singular perturbation theory and the center manifold theorem, we show that traveling wave solutions exist provided that the delays are sufficiently small with the strong generic delay kernels. %K Traveling wave solutions %K R-D equations %K singular perturbation %K strong generic delay kernels %K nonlocal effect %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2013/87/abstr.html
