摘要
We study the global and blow-up solutions for a strong degenerate reaction-diffusion system modeling the interactions of two biological species. The local existence and uniqueness of a classical solution are established. We further give the critical exponent for reaction and absorption terms for the existence of global and blow-up solutions. We show that the solution may blow up if the intraspecific competition is weak. This supports ecologist AJ. Nicholson's conclusion that intraspecific competition is the main factor regulating population size. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
