We establish a global supremum bound for solutions of the equation. We investigate the asymptotic (long-time and long-range) behavior of the population. We perform a certain rescaling and prove that solutions of the rescaled problem converge locally uniformly to zero in a certain region and stay positive (in some sense) in another region. These regions are determined by two viscosity solutions of a related Hamilton-Jacobi equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-16T15:47:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "variable motility", "population", "problem converge", "nonlocal reaction term", "global supremum bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1409.4679T" } } }
