On long-time dynamics for competition-diffusion systems with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions (Q2475539)

The present paper is concerned with the long-time dynamics of the competition-diffusion system \[ u_t= \Delta u+f(u)-kuv, \quad v_t=\Delta v+g(v)-\alpha kuv \quad \text{in }\Omega \] with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions \[ u=m_1\geq 0, \quad v=m_2\geq 0 \quad \text{on } \partial \Omega. \] This system can be used to study the dynamics of the spatial segregation between the competing species. The parameters \(k\) and \(\alpha\) may be thought of as representing the interspecific competition rate and the competitive advantage of \(v\) over \(u\) respectively. When the interspecific competition parameter tends to infinity, the system solution converges to that of a free-boundary problem. If all stationary solutions of this limit problem are non-degenerate and if a certain linear combination of the boundary data does not identically vanish, then for sufficiently large interspecific competition, all non-negative solutions of the competition-diffusion system converge to stationary states as time tends to infinity. Such dynamics are much simpler than those found for the corresponding system with either homogeneous Neumann or homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.
