Asymptotic Behavior of the Principal Eigenvalue for Cooperative Elliptic Systems and Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue for general linear cooperative elliptic systems with small diffusion rates is determined. As an application, we show that if a cooperative system of ordinary differential equations has a unique positive equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable, then the corresponding reaction-diffusion system with either the Neumann boundary condition or the Robin boundary condition also has a unique positive steady state which is globally asymptotically stable, provided that the diffusion coefficients are sufficiently small. Moreover, as the diffusion coefficients approach zero, the positive steady state of the reaction-diffusion system converges uniformly to the equilibrium of the corresponding kinetic system.

Asymptotic Distributions of Estimators of Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions in Functional Data
Functional data analysis is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of statistics. This is partly due to technological advancements which have made it possible to generate new types of data that are in the form of curves. Because the data are functions, they lie in function spaces, which are of infinite dimension. To analyse functional data, one way, which is widely used, is to employ princip...
متن کاملOn Cooperative Elliptic Systems: Principal Eigenvalue and Characterization of the Maximum Principle
The purpose of this set of notes is to present the connection between the classical maximum principle with the principal eigenvalue of the elliptic operator. We will start with the maximum principle for single equations and proceed to the case of cooperative (or weakly-coupled) systems. By adopting an idea due to G. Sweers, we give a characterization of the principal eigenvalue for a cooperativ...

In this paper, we consider the existence of a non-trivial weaksolution to a quasilinear elliptic system involving critical Hardyexponents. The main issue of the paper is to understand thebehavior of these Palais-Smale sequences. Indeed, the principaldifficulty here is that there is an asymptotic competition betweenthe energy functional carried by the critical nonlinearities. Thenby the variatio...

Effects of Large Degenerate Advection and Boundary Conditions on the Principal Eigenvalue and Its Eigenfunction of a Linear Second Order Elliptic Operator
In this article, we study, as the coefficient s → ∞, the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem −φ′′(x)− 2sm′(x)φ′(x) + c(x)φ(x) = λ(s)φ(x), 0 < x < 1, complemented by a general boundary condition. This problem is relevant to nonlinear propagation phenomena in reaction-diffusion equations. The main point is that the advection (or drift) term m allows natural d...
