On a model of a population with variable motility (1409.4679v2)
Published 16 Sep 2014 in math.AP
Abstract: We study a reaction-diffusion equation with a nonlocal reaction term that models a population with variable motility. We establish a global supremum bound for solutions of the equation. We investigate the asymptotic (long-time and long-range) behavior of the population. We perform a certain rescaling and prove that solutions of the rescaled problem converge locally uniformly to zero in a certain region and stay positive (in some sense) in another region. These regions are determined by two viscosity solutions of a related Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
