Abstract

In this paper we study the global stability of diffusive predator-prey system of Leslie type in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset R^N$ with no-flux boundary condition. By using a new approach, we establish much improved global asymptotic stability of the unique positive equilibrium solution. We also show how to extend the result to more general type of systems with non-homogeneous environment and/or wider class of kinetic terms.
