The classical chemostat is an intensely investigated model in ecology and bio/chemical engineering, where n-species, say $x_{1}, x_{2}...x_{n}$ compete for a single growth limiting nutrient. Classical theory predicts that depending on model…
Vegetation patterns are a ubiquitous feature of water-deprived ecosystems. Despite the competition for the same limiting resource, coexistence of several plant species is commonly observed. We propose a two-species reaction-diffusion model…
