Abstract

This work is concerned with the existence of entire solutions of the diffusive Lotka-Volterra competition system \begin{equation}\label{eq:abstract} \begin{cases} u_{t}= u_{xx} + u(1-u-av), & \qquad \ x\in\mathbb{R} \cr v_{t}= d v_{xx}+ rv(1-v-bu), & \qquad \ x\in\mathbb{R} \end{cases} \quad (1) \end{equation} where d,r,ad,r,a, and bb are positive constants with a1a\neq 1 and b1b\neq 1. We prove the existence of some entire solutions (u(t,x),v(t,x))(u(t,x),v(t,x)) of (1)(1) corresponding to (Φc(ξ),0)(\Phi_{c}(\xi),0) at t=t=-\infty (where ξ=xct\xi=x-ct and Φc\Phi_c is a traveling wave solution of the scalar Fisher-KPP defined by the first equation of (1)(1) when a=0a=0). Moreover, we also describe the asymptotic behavior of these entire solutions as t+t\to+\infty. We prove existence of new entire solutions for both the weak and strong competition case. In the weak competition case, we prove the existence of a class of entire solutions that forms a 4-dimensional manifold.
