Stability and bifurcation in a reaction-diffusion model with nonlocal delay effect

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2344807





This paper studies a reaction-diffusion model including both a nonlocal nonlinearity and distributed time delay, on a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In population ecology, such a model describes a diffusing and reproducing population in which competition leads to dependence of the population growth rate at each point on the population density in other points and in past times. The problem is studied in dependence on a parameter \(\lambda\) which describes the growth rate at low densities, and a parameter \(\tau\) controlling the time-delay distribution. After proving that spatially-dependent stationary solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution as \(\lambda\) crosses the eigenvalues of a linearized equation, a detailed study is made of bifurcation of time-periodic solutions from these spatially-dependent stationary solutions, as the parameter \(\tau\) is varied, under appropriate conditions. Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction is a central tool here. Examples illustrating the application of the general results to some models in a one-dimensional domain are given.
