An improved result for the model is derived, that is, the unique positive constant steady state is the global stability. This is done using the comparison principle and establishing iteration schemes involving positive solutions supremum and infimum. The result indicates that the two species will ultimately distribute homogeneously in space. In fact, the comparison argument and iteration technique to be used in this paper can be applied to some other models. This method deals with the not-existence of a non-constant positive steady state for some reaction diffusion systems, which is rather simple but sufficiently effective.展开更多

With the help of implicit function theorem and energy integral method, nonexistence of non-constant positive steady states of the system is obtained, whereas coexistence of non-constant positive steady states is derived from topological degree theory. The results indicate that if dispersal rate of the predator or prey is sufficiently large, there is no nonconstant positive steady states. However, under some appropriate hypotheses, if the dispersal rate of the predator is larger than some positive constant, for certain ranges of dispersal rates of the prey, there exists at least one non-constant positive steady state.展开更多

Some new sufficient conditions were analytically established to ensure that this system has globally asymptotically stable equilibria and Hopf bifurcation surrounding interior equilibrium. In the analysis of Hopf bifurcation, based on the phenomenon of Turing instability and well-done conditions, the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation and an example incorporating with numerical simulations to support the existence of Hopf bifurcation is presented. We also derived a useful algorithm for determining direction of Hopf bifurcation and stability of bifurcating periodic solutions correspond to j ≠0 and j = 0, respectively. Finally, all these theoretical results are expected to be useful in the future study of dynamical complexity of ecological environment.展开更多
