Coexistence state of a reaction-diffusion system

Yijie Meng, Yifu Wang

Abstract:
Taking the spatial diffusion into account, we consider a reaction-diffusion system that models three species on a growth-limiting, nonreproducing resources in an unstirred chemostat. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive solution are determined. The main techniques is the Leray-Schauder degree theory.
