Spatial segregation limit of a competition-diffusion system with Dirichlet boundary conditions (original) (raw)

Abstract

We consider a competition-di usion system with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for two competitive species and show that they spatially segregate as the interspeciÿc competition rates become large. The limit problem turns out to be a free boundary problem. ?
