Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness results for competitive systems consisting of two parabolic equations supplemented with positivity constraints. The coupling terms include local and nonlocal interaction terms. Monotone iteration schemes are used to obtain solutions in a variational approach. The solutions of the system are compared with the solution of a simplified ordinary differential system.
