Abstract. A quasilinear parabolic problem is investigated. It models the evolution of a single population species with a nonlinear diffusion and a logistic reaction function. We present a new treatment combining standard theory of monotone operators in L 2 (Ω) with some orderpreserving properties of the evolutionary equation. The advantage of our approach is that we are able to obtain the existence and long-time asymptotic behavior of a weak solution almost simultaneously. We do not employ any uniqueness results; we rely on the uniqueness of the minimal and maximal solutions instead. At last, we answer the question of (long-time) survival of the population in terms of a critical value of a spectral parameter.Mathematics subject classification (2010): 35B40, 35K59, 35K92, 92D25.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
