Approximation-solvability of population biology systems based on p-Laplacian elliptic inequalities with demicontinuous strongly pseudo-contractive operators

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate existence, uniqueness and convergence of approximants of nonzero positive weak solutions for a class of population biology systems, which are models of one species based on p-Laplacian elliptic inequalities with demicontinuous strongly pseudo-contractive operators and involved logistic growth and harvesting rates. Toward this end, we foremost develop a kind of new general variational inequality principles with generalized duality mappings in reflexive Banach spaces. Then, we employ the new principle to obtain our main results for a general p-Laplacian elliptic inequality and the population biology systems. We note that the results are different from those relevant work of p-Laplacian elliptic inequalities in the literature, it is because a pseudo-contractive operator may not be an S-contractive operator and vice versa.
