Asymptotic profiles of positive steady states for a diffusive predator–prey model with predator interference

This paper is concerned with positive steady states for a diffusive predator–prey model with predator interference in a spatially heterogeneous environment. We first establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive steady states. In order to get a better understanding of the structure of positive steady states, we further investigate the asymptotic profiles of positive steady states as some parameter tends to zero or infinity.

POSITIVE STEADY STATES OF A DIFFUSIVE PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH PREDATOR CANNIBALISM

The purpose of this paper is to investigate positive steady states of a diffusive predator-prey system with predator cannibalism under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. With the help of implicit function theorem and energy integral method, nonexistence of non-constant positive steady states of the system is obtained, whereas coexistence of non-constant positive steady states is derived from topological degree theory. The results indicate that if dispersal rate of the predator or prey is sufficiently large, there is no nonconstant positive steady states. However, under some appropriate hypotheses, if the dispersal rate of the predator is larger than some positive constant, for certain ranges of dispersal rates of the prey, there exists at least one non-constant positive steady state.     

A competition un-stirred chemostat model with virus in an aquatic system

A reaction–diffusion system of two bacteria species competing a single limiting nutrient with the consideration of virus infection is derived and analysed. Firstly, the well-posedness of the system, the existence of the trivial and semi-trivial steady states, and some prior estimations of the steady states are given. Secondly, a single species subsystem with virus is studied. The stability of the trivial and semi-trivial steady states and the uniform persistence of the subsystem are obtained. Further, taking the infective ability of virus as a bifurcation parameter, the global structure of the positive steady states and the effect of virus on the positive steady states are established via bifurcation theory and limiting arguments. It shows that the backward bifurcation may occur. Some sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness and stability of the positive steady state are also obtained. Finally, some sufficient conditions on the existence of the positive steady states for the full system are derived by using the fixed point index theory. Some results on persistence or extinction for the full system are also obtained.     

Effects of the self- and cross-diffusion on positive steady states for a generalized predator–prey system

This paper deals with a generalized predator–prey system with cross-diffusion and homogeneous Neumann boundary condition, where the cross-diffusion is included in such a way that the prey runs away from the predator. We first give a priori estimate for positive steady states to the system. Then we obtain the non-existence result of non-constant positive steady states. Finally, we investigate the stability of constant equilibrium point and the existence of non-constant positive steady states. It is shown that the system admits a non-constant positive steady state provided that either of the self-diffusions is large or the cross-diffusion is small.     

Global Bifurcation for a Class of Lotka-Volterra Competitive Systems

For a class of Lotka-Volterra competitive systems including both diffusion and advection, a global bifurcation result of positive steady states is established via a bifurcation approach. Also, the phenomenon of multiple positive steady states is discussed.

Pattern formation in the Brusselator system

In the paper, we deal with a reaction-diffusion system well known as the Brusselator model and some improved results for the steady states of this model are presented. We first give an a priori estimates (positive upper and lower bounds) of positive steady states. Then, we obtain the non-existence and existence of positive non-constant steady states as the parameters λ, θ and b are varied, which means some certain conditions under which the pattern formation occurs or not.     

The instability of spiky steady states for a competing species model with cross diffusion

This paper is concerned with the stability/instability of a class of positive spiky steady states for a quasi-linear cross-diffusion system describing two-species competition. By detailed spectral analysis, it is proved that the spiky steady states for the related shadow system are linearly unstable and the spiky steady states for the original cross-diffusion system are non-linearly unstable.     

A note on a diffusive predator-prey model and its steady-state system

In this note, a diffusive predator-prey model subject to the homogeneous Neumann bound- ary condition is investigated and some qualitative analysis of solutions to this reaction-diffusion system and its corresponding steady-state problem is presented. In particular, by use of a Lyapunov function, the global stability of the constant positive steady state is discussed. For the associated steady state problem, a priori estimates for positive steady states are derived and some non-existence results for non-constant positive steady states are also established when one of the diffusion rates is large enough. Consequently, our results extend and complement the existing ones on this model.
