Asymptotic spreading speeds for a predator-prey system with two predators and one prey
Abstract
This paper investigates the large time behaviour of a three species reaction-diffusion system, modelling the spatial invasion of two predators feeding on a single prey species. In addition to the competition for food, the two predators exhibit competitive interactions and under some parameter conditions ($\mu>0$), they can also be considered as two mutants. When mutations occur in the predator populations, the spatial spread of invasion takes place at a definite speed, identical for both mutants. When the two predators are not coupled through mutation, the spreading behaviour exhibits a more complex propagating pattern, including multiple layers with different speeds. In addition, some parameter conditions reveal situations where a nonlocal pulling phenomenon occurs and in particular where the spreading speed is not linearly determined.
