Non-constant stationary solutions to a prey-predator model with diffusion

In this paper, a nonlinear predator reproduction and prey competition model with diffusion is discussed. Some existence and non-existence results concerning non-constant positive steady-states are presented using topological degree argument and the energy method, respectively.
