TY - JOUR T1 - The Existence and Uniqueness of a Positive Solution of an Elliptic System JO - Journal of Partial Differential Equations VL - 1 SP - 29 EP - 48 PY - 2004 DA - 2004/02 SN - 17 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jpde/5374.html KW - Lotka-Volterra competition model KW - coexistence state AB - The existence and uniqueness of the positive solution for the generalized Lotka-Volterra competition model for several competing species Δu^i + u^i(a - g(u¹, ..., uN^)) = 0 in Ω , u^i = 0 on ∂Ω , for i = 1, ...,N were investigated. The techniques used in this paper are elliptic theory, upper-lower solutions, maximum principles and spectrum estimates. The arguments also rely on some detailed properties for the solution of logistic equations.
