A radially symmetric anti-maximum principle and applications to fishery management models

Junping Shi

Abstract:
For a boundary-value problem of an ordinary differential equation, we prove that the anti-maximum principle holds when the forcing term satisfies an integral inequality. As applications, we consider linear and nonlinear models arising from fishery management problems.
