Saddle-point behavior for monotone semiflows and reaction-diffusion models (Q1881144)

This paper generalizes and unifies work done by \textit{H. L. Smith} and \textit{H. R. Thieme} [J. Differ. Equations 176, No. 1, 195--222 (2001; Zbl 1064.47075)] on some Lotka-Volterra systems and \textit{V. Capasso} and \textit{R. E. Wilson} [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 57, No. 2, 327--346 (1997; Zbl 0872.35053)] on some epidemic models about the existence of a saddle-point structure in competitive systems.
