Abstract:

Based on the bifurcation and perturbation theories , the existence and stability of the steady-state solutions to a prey-predator system of three species with cross-diffusion are discussed. Then , by taking the birth rate of the prey , the death rate of the first predator and the death rate of the second predator as the bifurcation parameters in order , the weak semi-trivial solution bifurcated from the trivial one , the strong semi-trivial solution bifurcated from the weak one and the nontrivial solution are all respectively obtained. The stability conditions for all the bifurcated solutions are finally presented in the paper.

Key words: cross-diffusion system, bifurcation, steady-state solution, asymptotic stability
