On a competition model in stream environments: the effects of seasonal pulses and advection (Q6155288)

In this paper is investigated the following impulsive-advective competition model \begin{align*} u_t=d_1u_{xx}-\alpha u_x+u(r-u-v),\quad t\in ((nT)^+, (n+1)T],\quad x\in (0, L),\\ v_t= d_2v_{xx}-\beta v_x+v(r-u-v),\quad t\in ((nT)^+, (n+1)T],\quad x\in (0, L),\\ u((nT)^+, x)= c_1u(nT, x),\quad x\in [0, L],\\ v((nT)^+, x)= c_2v(nT, x),\quad x\in [0, L],\\ d_1u_x(t, 0)-\alpha u(t, 0)= 0,\quad t>0,\\ d_2v_x(t, 0)-\beta v(t, 0)= 0,\quad t>0,\\ u_x(t, L)=v_x(t, L)=0,\quad t>0,\\ u(0, x)=u_0(x),\quad v(0, x)=v_0(x),\quad x\in [0, L], \end{align*} where \(d_1\ne d_2\), \(\alpha\ne \beta\), \(T, L, c_1, c_2, r>0\), \(n\in \mathbb{N}\). The authors define the threshold values by the spectral radius of the Poincaré map and analyze their properties. In the paper, they discuss the stability of semi trivial periodic steady states and prove the existence of a coexistence state to the considered problem. The authors provide their results with suitable numerical simulations.
