A nonconstant trajectory approaching a stable focus winds around it infinitely often. Its coordinate therefore changes sign repeatedly near zero. Since the biological population profile must remain nonnegative, such a trajectory cannot represent the wave. The only nonnegative trajectory avoiding that winding at the origin would be the equilibrium itself, which cannot join the populated state. Thus .
