Coexistence regions in Lotka-Volterra models with diffusion (Q4030889)

The authors study positive solutions in both components to the Lotka- Volterra model: \[ -\Delta u= \lambda u-Au^ 2- Buv,\;-\Delta v=\mu v- Cuv- Dv^ 2 \quad\text{in }\Omega,\;u=v=0\text{ on }\partial \Omega, \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) with sufficiently smooth boundary, \(A>0\), \(D>0\), \(B\neq 0\), \(C\neq 0\). Let \(\lambda'\) be the first eigenvalue of \(-\Delta\) in \(\Omega\) with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. The authors describe the shape of the set of \((\lambda,\mu)\) near \((\lambda',\lambda')\). Besides, they find the domain of parameters \((A,B,C,D)\) in which the corresponding eigensolution has both components positive in \(\Omega\).
