Non-constant positive solutions of a general Gause-type predator-prey system with self- and cross-diffusions

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the non-constant stationary solutions of a general Gause-type predator-prey system with self- and cross-diffusions subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. In the system, the cross-diffusions are introduced in such a way that the prey runs away from the predator, while the predator moves away from a large group of preys. Firstly, we establish a priori estimate for the positive solutions. Secondly, we study the non-existence results of non-constant positive solutions. Finally, we consider the existence of non-constant positive solutions and discuss the Turing instability of the positive constant solution.
