For integer $m\ge3$, we study the dynamical system $(\Lambda_m,\sigma_m)$ where $\Lambda_m$ is the set $\{w\in\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}: w$ does not contain $0^m$ or $1^m\}$ and $\sigma_m$ is the shift map on $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$ restricted to…

We consider a system of elliptic equations, depending on a small parameter $\eps$, that models long-range segregation of populations. The diffusion is governed by the Laplacian. This system was previously investigated by Caffarelli,…
