In this paper, we study the global dynamics of a general 2 × 2 competition models with nonsymmetric nonlocal dispersal operators. Our results indicate that local stability implies global stability provided that one of the diffusion rates is sufficiently small. This paper continues the work in [2], where competition models with symmetric nonlocal operators are considered.
2where d, D > 0, Ω is a bounded domain in R n , n ≥ 1, K and P represent nonlocal operators, which will be defined later.When nonlocal operators are replaced by differential operators, two-component systems like (1.1) allow for a large range of possible phenomena in chemistry, biology, ecology, physics and so on and have been extensively studied. One of the most famous phenomena is the idea, which was first proposed by Alan Turing, that a stable state in the local system can become unstable in the presence of diffusion. This remarkable idea is called "diffusion-driven instability", which is one of the most classical theories in the studies of pattern formations. Another important phenomena comes from ecology, where random diffusion is introduced to model dispersal strategies [18] and there are tremendous studies in this direction, see the books [4,17]. Indeed, dispersal strategies of organisms have been a central topic in ecology. However, when a long range dispersal is considered, nonlocal reaction diffusion equations are commonly used [5,6,9,15,16,19], where the nonlocal operator takes the following form:To be more specific, this paper is motivated by the studies of Lotka-Volterra type weak competition models with spatial inhomogeneity, that is f (are the population densities of two competing species, d, D > 0 are their dispersal rates, which measure the total number of dispersal individuals per unit time, respectively, while m(x) is nonconstant and represents spatial distribution of resources. This type of models reflects the interactions among dispersal strategies, spatial heterogeneity of resources and interspecific competition abilities on the persistence of species and has received extensive studies from both mathematicians and ecologists for the last three decades. For models with random diffusion, see [3,7,10,13,14] and the references therein, while for models with nonlocal dispersals, see [1,2,8,12] and the references therein.Inspired by the nature of this type of models, in [14], an insightful conjecture was proposed and partially verified:Conjucture A. The locally stable steady state is globally asymptotically stable.It is known that this conjecture is true for ODE systems. Recently, for symmetric PDE case, this conjecture has been completely resolved in [7]. Moreover, if random diffusion is replaced by symmetric nonlocal operators, this conjecture is also verified in [2]. In the proofs of these results, the symmetry property of operators and the particular form of reaction terms are crucial. These naturally lead us to investigate the system (1.1) with nonsymmetric operators and more general reaction terms. Now let us designate the de...
