On a Free Boundary Problem for a Two-Species Weak Competition System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a Lotka–Volterra type weak competition model with a free boundary in a one-dimensional habitat. The main objective is to understand the asymptotic behavior of two competing species spreading via a free boundary. We also provide some sufficient conditions for spreading success and spreading failure, respectively. Finally, when spreading successfully, we provide an estimate to show that the spreading speed (if exists) cannot be faster than the minimal speed of traveling wavefront solutions for the competition model on the whole real line without a free boundary.

A two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation
In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary. We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...
متن کاملSingular limit of a competition-diffusion system with large interspecific interaction
We consider a competition-diffusion system for two competing species; the density of the first species satisfies a parabolic equation together with a inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition whereas the second one either satisfies a parabolic equation with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition, or an ordinary differential equation. Under the situation where the two species spatially segreg...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of a Free Boundary Problem from Heat Transfer by the Second Kind Chebyshev Wavelets
In this paper we reduce a free boundary problem from heat transfer to a weakly Singular Volterra integral equation of the first kind. Since the first kind integral equation is ill posed, and an appropriate method for such ill posed problems is based on wavelets, then we apply the Chebyshev wavelets to solve the integral equation. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by two ben...
متن کاملGlobal Existence and Blowup for Free Boundary Problems of Coupled Reaction-diffusion Systems
This article concerns a free boundary problem for a reactiondiffusion system modeling the cooperative interaction of two diffusion biological species in one space dimension. First we show the existence and uniqueness of a local classical solution, then we study the asymptotic behavior of the free boundary problem. Our results show that the free boundary problem admits a global solution if the i...
