摘要
A system of reaction-diffusion equations is considered in the unstirred chemostat with an inhibitor. Global structure of the coexistence solutions and their local stability are established. The asymptotic behavior of the system is given as a function of the parameters, and it is determined when neither, one, or both competing populations survive. Finally, the results of some numerical simulations indicate that the global stability of the steady-state solutions is possible. The main tools for our investigations are the maximum principle, monotone method and global bifurcation theory.
