Instability induced by cross-diffusion in a predator-prey model with sex structure (Q442826): Difference between revisions

Summary: We consider a cross-diffusion predator-prey model with sex structure. We prove that cross-diffusion can destabilize a uniform positive equilibrium which is stable for the ODE system and for the weakly coupled reaction-diffusion system. As a result, we find that stationary patterns arise solely from the effect of cross-diffusion.
