Abstract

Shadow systems are often used to approximate reaction-diffusion systems when one of the diffusion rates is large. In this paper, we investigate in a shadow system the effects of migration and interspecific competition coefficients on the existence of positive solutions. Our study shows that for any given migration, if the interspecific competition coefficient of the invader is small, then the shadow system has coexistence state; otherwise we can always find some migration such that it has no coexistence state. Moreover, these findings can be applied to steady state of a two-species Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion model. Particularly, we show that if the interspecific competition coefficient of the invader is sufficiently small, then rapid diffusion of the invader can drive to coexistence state.
