This paper is concerned with the instability of a class of positive spiky steady states for a quasi-linear cross-diffusion system describing two-species competition.For a course of transition,the system (1.1)can be written asWhen a is large enough,the system (2) is a perturbation of the below systemBased on the theory of perturbation,the instability of the non-constant steady states of the system (2)is equal to the system (3)'s. Hence,we only need consider the instability of the non-constant steady states of the system (3).When d1 is large enough,we can get the shadow system. 1.In the second section,we use the shadow system analysis method to consider the instbility of the non-constant steady states with spikey layer. First,we proved that the non-constant steady states with spikey layer of shadow system in [2] is a function with exponential dacay. Then we get the linearized system of(4).(5)The corresponding eigenvalue problem of (5) is... |
