We discuss non-sharp travelling waves of a dual porous medium equation with monostable source and bistable source respectively. We show the existence of non-sharp travelling waves and find that though the equation is degenerate, the travelling waves are classical ones. Furthermore, for the monostable source, we show that the non-sharp travelling waves are infinite, while for the bistable source, the non-sharp travelling waves are semi-finite, which is in contrast with the case of the heat equation.
Keywords: Travelling wave, dual porous medium equation..
