Dynamics of a Nonlocal Dispersal Model with a Nonlocal Reaction Term

Abstract

In this paper, we study a class of nonlocal dispersal problem with a nonlocal term arising in population dynamics: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a bounded domain, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] represents the nonlocal dispersal operator with continuous and non-negative dispersal kernel. The kernel [Formula: see text] is assumed to be non-negative and is allowed to have a degeneracy in a smooth subdomain [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is either positive or vanishes in a subdomain, we respectively investigate the existence, multiplicity and asymptotical stability of positive steady states under the local/global variation of parameter by means of sub-supersolution method, Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction, and bifurcation theory.
