An N-barrier maximum principle for autonomous systems of $n$ species and its application to problems arising from population dynamics

Analysis of PDEs 2016-04-12 v2

Abstract

We show that the N-barrier maximum principle (NBMP) remains true for nn (n>2)(n>2) species. In addition, a stronger lower bound in NBMP is given by employing an improved tangent line method. As an application of NBMP, we establish a nonexistence result for traveling wave solutions to the four species Lotka-Volterra system.
