A reaction-diffusion-advection competition model with a free boundary

Abstract

In this paper, we study a competitive diffusion quasilinear system with a free boundary. First, we investigate the mathematical questions of the problem. A priori estimates of Schauder type are established, which are necessary for the solvability of the problem. One of two competing species is an invader, which initially exists on a certain sub-interval. The other is initially distributed throughout the area under consideration. Examining the influence of baseline data on the success or failure of the first invasion. We conclude that there is a dichotomy of spread and extinction and give precise criteria for spread and extinction in this model.
