Asymptotic behavior of solutions of reaction-diffusion systems of Lotka- Volterra type (Q1328945)

The authors consider the reaction-diffusion systems of Lotka-Volterra type of the form: \[ \begin{aligned} &{\partial \over {\partial t}} u_ j= d_ j\Delta u_ j+ u_ j f_ j(u)\qquad (x\in \Omega,\;t>0),\\ \Bigl. &{\partial \over {\partial \nu}} u_ j \Bigr|_{\partial \Omega}=0\quad (t>0), \qquad \Bigl. u_ j \Bigr|_{t=0}= \varphi_ j\;(j=1,\dots, N), \end{aligned} \tag{RD} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) with smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\), \(d_ j\) is a positive constant, \(\partial/ \partial\nu\) denotes the outer normal derivative of \(\partial \Omega\), \(\varphi_ j\) is a given smooth nonnegative and not identically zero function satisfying the compatibility condition \(\partial \varphi_ j/ \partial\nu =0\) on \(\partial \Omega\). The purpose of this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of (RD) for large \(t\) under some assumptions on \(f_ j\).
