Abstract:This paper is concerned with an integral equation that models discrete time dynamics of a population in a patchy landscape. The patches in the domain are reflected through the discontinuity of the kernel of the integral operator at a finite number of points in the whole domain. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a stationary state under certain assumptions on the principal eigenvalue of the linearized integral operator and the growth term as well. We also derive criteria under which the population underg… Show more
