Abstract

We study the asymptotic behaviors and quenching of the solutions for a two-component system of reaction–diffusion equations modeling prey–predator interactions in an insular environment. First, we give a global existence result for the solutions to the corresponding shadow system. Then, by constructing some suitable Lyapunov functionals, we characterize the asymptotic behaviors of global solutions to the shadow system. Also, we give a finite time quenching result for the shadow system. Finally, some global existence results for the original reaction–diffusion system are given.
