Singular limit of a competition-diffusion system with large interspecific interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a competition-diffusion system for two competing species; the density of the first species satisfies a parabolic equation together with a inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition whereas the second one either satisfies a parabolic equation with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition, or an ordinary differential equation. Under the situation where the two species spatially segregate as the interspecific competition rate becomes large, we show that the resulting limit problem turns out to be a free boundary problem. We focus on the singular limit of the interspecific reaction term, which involves a measure located on the free boundary.

On long-time dynamics for competition-diffusion systems with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions
We consider a two-component competition-diffusion system with equal diffusion coefficients and inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. When the interspecific competition parameter tends to infinity, the system solution converges to that of a freeboundary problem. If all stationary solutions of this limit problem are non-degenerate and if a certain linear combination of the boundary data do...
متن کاملReduction to a Single Closed Equation for 2-by-2 Reaction-Diffusion Systems of Lotka-Volterra Type
We consider general models of coupled reaction-diffusion systems for interacting variants of the same species. When the total population becomes large with intensive competition, we prove that the frequencies (i.e. proportions) of the variants can be approached by the solution of a simpler reaction-diffusion system, through a singular limit method and a relative compactness argument. As an exam...
متن کاملDensity-dependent interactions in an Arctic char – brown trout system: competition, predation, or both?
In the study of mechanisms structuring fish communities, mixed competition–predation interactions where large predators feed on prey fish versus those in which small predators compete with prey fish for a shared prey have been the focus of substantial research. We used a long-term data set from a system inhabited by brown trout (Salmo trutta) (predator) and Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) (pre...
متن کاملUniqueness and Complete Dynamics in Heterogeneous Competition-Diffusion Systems
In this paper we study the interactions between diffusion and heterogeneity of the environment in the classical diffusive Lotka–Volterra competition systems. In the weak competition case, we establish the uniqueness, hence the global asymptotic stability, of coexistence steady states under various circumstances, and thereby we obtain a complete understanding of the change in dynamics when one o...
متن کاملInteraction of Canard and Singular Hopf Mechanisms in a Neural Model
We consider an ordinary differential equation model for neural competition, presented previously in the study of binocular rivalry, which features two adapting populations of neurons interacting through mutual inhibition. This model is known to exhibit a variety of dynamic regimes, including mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs) featuring alternating small and large amplitude oscillations, depending o...
