Global asymptotic behavior in single-species discrete diffusion systems (Q1314241): Difference between revisions

A single-species dynamical system is considered which is composed of several patches connected by discrete diffusion. Based on cooperative system theory and the property of a cooperative matrix, sufficient and necessary conditions are obtained for the system with linear diffusion to become extinct and for one with nonlinear diffusion to be globally stable. The authors obtain a critical patch number in the system with linear diffusion for the species to become extinct.
