Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the structure of the set of positive solutions of an heterogeneous nonlocal equation of the form: ΩK(x,y)u(y)dyΩK(y,x)u(x)dy+a0u+λa1(x)uβ(x)up=0in×\O \int_{\Omega} K(x, y)u(y)\,dy -\int_ {\Omega}K(y, x)u(x)\, dy + a_0u+\lambda a_1(x)u -\beta(x)u^p=0 \quad \text{in}\quad \times \O where ΩRn\Omega\subset \R^n is a bounded open set, KC(Rn×Rn)K\in C(\R^n\times \R^n) is nonnegative, ai,βC(Ω)a_i,\beta \in C(\Omega) and λR\lambda\in\R. Such type of equation appears in some studies of population dynamics where the above solutions are the stationary states of the dynamic of a spatially structured population evolving in a heterogeneous partially controlled landscape and submitted to a long range dispersal. Under some fairly general assumptions on K,aiK,a_i and β\beta we first establish a necessary and sufficient criterium for the existence of a unique positive solution. Then we analyse the structure of the set of positive solution (λ,uλ)(\lambda,u_\lambda) with respect to the presence or absence of a refuge zone (i.e ω\omega so that βω0\beta_{|\omega}\equiv 0).
