Turing Patterns of a Lotka–Volterra Competitive System with Nonlocal Delay

Abstract

This paper focuses on the dynamical behavior of a Lotka–Volterra competitive system with nonlocal delay. We first establish the conditions of Turing bifurcation occurring in the system. According to it and by using multiple scale method, the amplitude equations of the different Turing patterns are obtained. Then, we observe when these patterns (spots pattern and stripes pattern) arise in the Lotka–Volterra competitive system. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to verify our theoretical analysis.
