Analysis of steady states for classes of reaction-diffusion equations with hump-shaped density-dependent dispersal on the boundary

Quinn Morris, Jessica Nash and Catherine Payne

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 1, 9–19
Abstract

We study a two-point boundary-value problem describing steady states of a population dynamics model with diffusion, logistic growth, and nonlinear density-dependent dispersal on the boundary. In particular, we focus on a model in which the population exhibits hump-shaped density-dependent dispersal on the boundary, and explore its effects on existence, uniqueness and multiplicity of steady states.
