Abstract:The logistic diffusive model provides the population distribution of a species according to time under a fixed open domain in R^n, a dispersal rate, and a given resource distribution. In this talk, we discuss the solution of the model and its equilibrium. First, we show the existence, uniqueness, and regularity results of the solution and the equilibrium. Then, we investigate two contrasting behaviors of the equilibrium with respect to the dispersal rate by applying two methods for each case: sub-super solution method and asymptotic expansion. Finally, we introduce an optimizing problem of a total population of the equilibrium with respect to resource distribution and prove a significant property of an optimal control called bang-bang.
