Existence, uniqueness and stability of the stationary solution to a nonlocal evolution equation arising in population dispersal

This paper is concerned with a nonlocal evolution equation which is used to model the spatial dispersal of organisms. We study the existence, uniqueness and stability of the positive steady solution for this nonlocal evolution equation under general conditions. The global dynamics are also investigated and a trichotomy of the global asymptotics is established. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
