Coexistence states of a Holling type II predator-prey system with self and cross-diffusion terms

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we present results about existence and non-existence of coexistence states for a reaction-diffusion predator-prey model with the two species living in a bounded region with inhospitable boundary and Holling type II functional response. The predator is a specialist and presents self-diffusion and cross-diffusion behavior. We show the existence of coexistence states by combining global bifurcation theory with the method of sub- and supersolutions.</p>
