We consider a strongly coupled predator-prey model with one resource and two consumers, in which the first consumer species feeds on the resource according to the Holling II functional response, while the second consumer species feeds on the resource following the BeddingtonDeAngelis functional response, and they compete for the common resource. Using the energy estimates and Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type inequalities, the existence and uniform boundedness of global solutions for the model are proved. Meanwhile, the sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium for this model are given by constructing a Lyapunov function. 1. Introduction The principle of competitive exclusion asserts that two or more consumer species cannot coexist indefinitely upon a single limiting resource, which dates back to the pioneering work of Volterra 1 in the 1920s. Subsequently, Ayala 2 in 1969 demonstrated experimentally that two species of Drosophila can coexist upon a single limiting resource. Ayala’s experiments have received much attention see the comprehensive survey by Cantrell and Cosner 3. Schoener 4 in 1976 found that intraspecific interference among consumers may lead to coexistence of multiple consumer species upon a single resource. To examine more closely the implications of feeding interference among conspecific consumers on 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis consumer-resource dynamics, Cantrell et al. 5 in 2004 proposed the following predator-prey system: u auv Auw du ru 1 − − − , dt K 1 bu 1 Bu Dw dv eu v −l , dt 1 bu dw Eu w −L , dt 1 Bu Dw 1.1 where r, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L, and K are positive constants, ut represents the density of the limiting resource at time t, vt and wt denote two consumers species. The first consumer species feeds upon the resource according to the Holling II functional response, while the second consumer species feeds upon the resource following the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response, and they compete for the common resource. For more details on the backgrounds about this system see 5.

The constants d1 , d2 , and d3 , called diffusion coefficients, are positive, and u0 x, v0 x, and w0 x are nonnegative functions which are not identically zero.

Assume that a∗11 > 0, d3∗ μ1 4d2 − 4eld1 − ed2 DE − B − AE − B − 1 min , 4d2 DE − B > 1 e−b 1.11 and 1.8 hold. Furthermore, assume that one of the following conditions is satisfied: i a∗11 a∗33 − a∗31 a∗13 < 0, μ̌ ∈ μn , μn1 for some n ≥ 1, and the sum σn ni1 dim Eμi is odd; ∈ μk , μk1 , μ̌ ∈ μn , μn1 for some n ≥ k ≥ 1, and the sum ii a∗11 a∗33 − a∗31 a∗13 > 0, μ σn nik1 dim Eμi is odd. Then there exists a positive constant D2 , such that 1.7 has at least one nonconstant positive solution if d2 ≥ D2 , where a∗11 −u∗ a∗33 − a∗13 − a∗31 μ̌ μ abv∗ ABw∗ 2 ∗ , e 2 u∗ E u DELu∗ w∗ 1 Bu∗ Dw∗ 2 , Aw∗ , Eu∗ ELw∗ 1 Dw∗ 1 Bu∗ Dw∗ 2 a∗11 d3 a∗33 d1 a∗11 d3 a∗33 d1 − 1.12 , a∗11 d3 − a∗33 d1 2 4a∗31 a∗13 d1 d3 2d1 d3 a∗11 d3 − a∗33 d1 2 , 4a∗31 a∗13 d1 d3 2d1 d3 and Eμi is the eigenspace corresponding to μi in H 1 Ω. 4 The bifurcation of nonconstant positive solutions for 1.7 was studied. In recent years, the SKT type cross-diffusion systems have attracted the attention of a great number of investigators and have been successfully developed on the theoretical Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 backgrounds. The above work mainly concentrate on 1 the instability and stability induced by cross-diffusion, and the existence of nonconstant positive steady-state solutions 7–14; 2 the global existence of strong solutions 15–23; 3 the global existence of weak solutions based on semidiscretization or finite element approximation 24–30; and 4 the dynamical behaviors 18, 19, 31, 32, and so forth. The corresponding SKT type cross-diffusion system for 1.7 is as follows: Auw auv − , x ∈ Ω, t > 0, ut Δ d1 u α11 u2 α12 uv α13 uw u1 − u − 1 bu 1 Bu Dw eu , x ∈ Ω, t > 0, vt Δ d2 v α21 uv α22 v2 α23 vw lv −1 1 bu Eu wt Δ d3 w α31 uw α32 vw α33 w2 Lw −1 , x ∈ Ω, t > 0, 1 Bu Dw ∂ν u ∂ν v ∂ν w 0, ux, 0 u0 x, x ∈ ∂Ω, t > 0, vx, 0 v0 x, wx, 0 w0 x, x ∈ Ω, 1.13 where αij i, j 1, 2, 3 are positive constants, αii i 1, 2, 3 are referred as self-diffusion pressures, and αij i, j 1, 2, 3, i / j are cross-diffusion pressures. The self-diffusion implies the movement of individuals from a higher to lower concentration region. Cross-diffusion expresses the population fluxes of one species due to the presence of the other species. The value of cross-diffusion coefficient may be positive, negative, or zero. The positive cross-diffusion coefficient denotes the movement of the species in the direction of lower concentration of another species and negative cross-diffusion coefficient denotes that one species tends to diffuse in the direction of higher concentration of another species e.g., 33. The local existence of solutions for the system 1.13 is an immediate consequence of a series of important papers 34–36 by Amann. Roughly speaking, if u0 x, v0 x, and w0 x in Wp1 Ω with p > n, then 1.13 has a unique nonnegative solution u, v, w ∈ C0, T , Wp1 Ω ∩ C∞ 0, T , C∞ Ω, where T ∈ 0, ∞ is the maximal existence time for the solution. If the solution u, v, w satisfies the estimate sup u·, tWp1 Ω , v·, tWp1 Ω , w·, tWp1 Ω : 0 < t < T < ∞, 1.14 then T ∞. Moreover, if u0 x, v0 x, w0 x ∈ Wp2 Ω, then u, v, w ∈ C0, ∞, Wp2 Ω.

Very few global existence results for 1.13 are known. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the uniform boundedness of global solutions for the system 1.13 in one space dimension. For convenience, we consider the following system: ut d1 u α11 u2 α12 uv α13 uw Auw auv − , 0 < x < 1, t > 0, xx 1 bu 1 Bu Dw eu , 0 < x < 1, t > 0, vt d2 v α21 uv α22 v2 α23 vw lv −1 xx 1 bu Eu , 0 < x < 1, t > 0, wt d3 w α31 uw α32 vw α33 w2 Lw −1 xx 1 Bu Dw ux x, t vx x, t wx x, t 0, ux, 0 u0 x, u1 − u − x 0, 1, t > 0, vx, 0 v0 x, wx, 0 w0 x, 0 < x < 1. 1.16 We firstly investigate the global existence and the uniform boundedness of the solutions for 1.16, then prove the global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium u∗ , v∗ , w∗ of 1.16 by an important lemma from 37. The proof is complete and complement to the uniform convergence theorems in papers 38–40. It is obvious that u∗ , v∗ , w∗ is the unique positive equilibrium of the system 1.16 if 1.8 holds. For simplicity, we denote · Wpk 0,1 by | · |k,p and · Lp 0,1 by | · |p . Our main results are as follows. Abstract and Applied Analysis 7 Theorem 1.1. Let u0 x, v0 x, w0 x ∈ W22 0, 1, u, v, w be the unique nonnegative solution of the system 1.16 in the maximal existence interval 0, T . Assume that 8α11 α21 α31 > α21 α213 α212 α31 , 8α12 α22 α32 > α32 α221 α223 α12 , 1.17 8α13 α23 α33 > α23 α231 α232 α13 . Then there exist t0 > 0 and positive constants M , M which depend on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E and L, such that sup |u·, t|1,2 , |v·, t|1,2 , |w·, t|1,2 : t ∈ t0 , T ≤ M , 1.18 max{ux, t, vx, t, wx, t : x, t ∈ 0, 1 × t0 , T } ≤ M, 1.19 and T ∞. Moreover, in the case that d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1, d2 /d1 , d3 /d1 ∈ d, d, where d and d are positive constants, M , M depend on d, d, but do not depend on d1 , d2 , d3 . Remark 1.2. Since the continuous embedding H 1 Ω → L∞ Ω holds only in one space dimension, we can only establish the uniform maximum-norn estimates about time for the solution in one space dimension. Theorem 1.3. Assume that all conditions in Theorem 1.1 are satisfied. Assume further that 2 4αβu∗ v∗ w∗ d1 d2 d3 > u∗ M2 αα23 v∗ βα32 w∗ d1 2α11 M α12 M α13 M 2 αv∗ M2 α13 u∗ βα31 w∗ d2 α21 M 2α22 M α23 M 1.20 βw∗ M2 α12 u∗ αα21 v∗ 2 d3 α31 M α32 M 2α33 M, DEe − b − be − b − 1 > Ae − bE − B − e − bB − b, 1.21 and 1.8 hold, where α a1 bu∗ /el, β A1 Bu∗ /EL1 Dw∗ , M is given by 1.19. Then the unique positive equilibrium u∗ , v∗ , w∗ of 1.16 is globally asymptotically stable. Remark 1.4. The system 1.16 has no nonconstant positive steady-state solution if all conditions of Theorem 1.3 hold. 8 Abstract and Applied Analysis Examples.

Global Solutions In order to establish the uniform W21 -estimates of the solutions for the system 1.16, the following Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type inequalities and the corresponding corollary play important roles see 38, 41. Theorem 2.1. Let Ω ⊂ Rn be a bounded domain with ∂Ω ∈ Cm . For every function u ∈ Wrm Ω, 1 ≤ q, r ≤ ∞, the derivative Dj u 0 ≤ j < m satisfies the inequality j a |u|q , D u ≤ C |Dm u|r |u|1−a q p 2.1 provided one of the following three conditions is satisfied: 1 r ≤ q, 2 0 < nr − q/mrq < 1, or 3 nr − q/mrq 1 and m − n/q is not a nonnegative integer, where 1/p j/n a1/r − m/n 1 − a/q for all a ∈ j/m, 1, and the positive constant C depends on n, m, j, q, r, a. Abstract and Applied Analysis 9 Corollary 2.2. There exists a universal constant C such that 2/3 |u|2 ≤ C |ux |1/3 2 |u|1 |u|1 , ∀u ∈ W21 0, 1, 2.2 ∀u ∈ W21 0, 1, 2.3 1/2 |u|4 ≤ C |ux |1/2 2 |u|1 |u|1 , 3/5 |u|5/2 ≤ C |ux |2/5 2 |u|1 |u|1 , ∀u ∈ W21 0, 1, 2.4 2/5 |ux |2 ≤ C |uxx |3/5 2 |u|1 |u|1 , ∀u ∈ W22 0, 1. 2.5 Throughout this paper, we always denote that C is a Sobolev embedding constant or other kind of universal constant, Aj , Bj , Cj are some positive constants which depend only on αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E and L, Kj are positive constants depending on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E and L. When d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1, d2 /d1 , d3 /d1 ∈ d, d, Kj depend on d, d, but do not depend on d1 , d2 , d3 . Proof of Theorem 1.1. Taking integration of the three equations in 1.16 over 0, 1, respectively, and combining the three integration equalities linearly, we have d dt 1 el ELu av Awdx ≤ 1 0 el ELu1 − u − alv − ALwdx. 2.6 0 It follows from the Young inequality and the Hölder inequality that d dt 1 el ELu av Awdx ≤ C1 − k 0 1 el ELu av Awdx, 2.7 0 where k min{l, L}, C1 k 12 el EL/4. So there exist positive constants M0 and τ0 depending on a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, and L, such that 1 1 u dx, 0 1 v dx, 0 w dx ≤ M0 , t ≥ τ0 . 2.8 0 Moreover, there exists a positive constant M0 which depends on a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L and L1 -norm of u0 , v0 , w0 , such that 1 1 u dx, 0 1 v dx, 0 0 w dx ≤ M0 , t ≥ 0. 2.8 10 Abstract and Applied Analysis Multiplying the first three equations in the system 1.16 by u, v, w, respectively, and integrating over 0, 1, we have 1 d 2 dt 1 u2 dx ≤ −d1 1 0 0 1 u2x dx − 1 0 2α11 u α12 v α13 wu2x α12 vx α13 wx uux dx u2 dx, 0 1 d 2 dt 1 v2 dx ≤ −d2 0 0 1 d 2 dt 1 1 el b w2 dx ≤ −d3 1 1 0 α21 u 2α22 v α23 wvx2 α21 ux α23 wx vvx dx 2.9 v2 dx, 0 1 0 0 vx2 dx − EL B wx2 dx − 1 1 α31 u α32 v 2α33 wwx2 α31 ux α32 vx wwx dx 0 w2 dx, 0 from which it follows that 1 d 2 dt 1 u2 v2 w2 dx 0 1 1 1 EL 1 2 dx ≤ −d v dx w dx − qux , vx , wx dx B 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 el EL u2x vx2 wx2 dx 1 u2 v2 w2 dx − qux , vx , wx dx, ≤ −d b B 0 0 0 2.10 u2x vx2 wx2 el u dx b 2 1 2 where d min{d1 , d2 , d3 }, qux , vx , wx 2α11 u α12 v α13 wu2x α12 u α21 vux vx α21 u 2α22 v α23 wvx2 α13 u α31 wux wx α31 u α32 v 2α33 wwx2 α23 v α32 wvx wx . 2.11 It is obvious that qux , vx , wx is a positive definite quadratic form of ux , vx , wx if 1.17 holds.

The inequality 2.2 implies that |u|62 ≤ C|ux |22 |u|41 |u|61 ≤ 1 1 3 CM04 |ux |22 M02 .

Repeating estimates in i by 2.8 , we can obtain that there exists a positive constant M1 depending on di i 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L and the L1 , L2 -norm of u0 , v0 , w0 , such that 1 u2 dx, 0 1 v2 dx, 1 0 0 w2 dx ≤ M1 , t ≥ 0. 2.15 When d ≥ 1, M1 is independent of d.

The inequality 2.32 implies that there exist +2 depending on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, and L, τ2 > 0 and positive constant M such that 1 0 2 d1 Px dx, 1 0 2 d1 Qx dx, 1 +2 , d1 Rx 2 dx ≤ M t ≥ τ2 . 2.33 0 In the case that d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1, ξ, η ∈ d, d, the coefficients of inequality 2.31 can be estimated +2 depends by some constants which depend on d, d, but do not depend on d1 , d2 , d3 . So M Abstract and Applied Analysis 21 on αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L, d, and d, but it is irrelevant to d1 , d2 , d3 , when d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1 and ξ, η ∈ d, d. Since ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞⎛ ⎞ Px P u Pv Pw ux ⎝Qx ⎠ ⎝Qu Qv Qw ⎠⎝ vx ⎠, Rx Ru Rv Rw wx 2.34 we can transform the formulations of ux , vx , wx into fraction representations, then distribute the denominators of the absolute value of the fractions to the numerators item and enlarge the term concerning with ux , vx or wx to obtain |d1 ux | |d1 vx | |d1 wx | ≤ C |d1 Px | |d1 Qx | |d1 Rx |, 0 < x < 1, t > 0, 2.35 where C is a constant depending only on ξ, η, αij i, j 1, 2, 3. After scaling back and contacting estimates 2.33 and 2.35, there exist positive constant M2 depending on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L, and τ2 > 0, such that 1 0 u2x dx, 1 0 vx2 dx, 1 0 wx2 dx ≤ M2 , t ≥ τ2 . 2.36 When d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1 and ξ, η ∈ d, d, M2 is independent of d1 , d2 , d3 . iiOne has t ≥ 0. Modifying the dependency of the coefficients in inequalities 2.17– 2.22, namely, replacing M0 , M1 with M0 , M1 , there exists a positive constant M2 depending on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L, and the W21 -norm of u0 , v0 , w0 , such that 1 0 u2x dx, 1 0 vx2 dx, 1 0 wx2 dx ≤ M2 , t ≥ 0. 2.36 Furthermore, in the case that d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1, ξ, η ∈ d, d, M2 depends on d, d, but does not depend on d1 , d2 , d3 . Summarizing estimates 2.8, 2.15, 2.36 and Sobolev embedding theorem, there exist positive constants M, M depending only on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, and L, such that 1.18 and 1.19 hold. In particular, M, M depend only on αij i, j 1, 2, 3, a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L, d, and d, but do not depend on d1 , d2 , d3 , when d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1 and ξ, η ∈ d, d. Similarly, according to 2.8 , 2.15 , 2.36 , there exists a positive constant M depending on di , αij i, j 1, 2, 3,a, b, e, l, A, B, D, E, L and the initial functions u0 , v0 , w0 , such that |u·, t|1,2 , |v·, t|1,2 , |w·, t|1,2 ≤ M , t ≥ 0. 2.37 Further, in the case that d1 , d2 , d3 ≥ 1, ξ, η ∈ d, d, M depends only on d, d, but do not depend on d1 , d2 , d3 . Thus, T ∞. This completes the proof of Theorem 1.1. 22 Abstract and Applied Analysis 3. Global Stability In order to obtain the uniform convergence of the solution for the system 1.16, we recall the following result which can be found in 37, 42. Lemma 3.1. Let a and b be positive constants. Assume that ϕ, ψ ∈ C1 a, ∞, ψt ≥ 0 and ϕ is bounded from below. If ϕ t ≤ −bψt and ψ t is bounded from above in a, ∞, then limt → ∞ ψt 0. Proof of Theorem 1.3. Let u, v, w be a solution for the system 1.16 with initial functions ≡ 0. From the strong maximum principle for parabolic equations, it u0 x, v0 x, w0 x ≥ / is not hard to verify that u, v, w > 0 for t > 0. Define the function 1 u v u − u − u ln ∗ dx α v − v∗ − v∗ ln ∗ dx Hu, v, w u v 0 0 1 w β w − w∗ − w∗ ln ∗ dx. w 0 1 ∗ ∗ 3.1 Then the time derivative of Hu, v, w for the system 1.16 satisfies 1 1 1 u − u∗ v − v∗ w − w∗ ut dx α vt dx β wt dx u v w 0 0 0 1' ∗ u∗ u 2 − 2α u α v α wu d α12 vx α13 wx ux 1 11 12 13 x 2 u 0 u dH dt αv∗ αv∗ 2 α u 2α v α wv d α21 ux α23 wx vx 2 21 22 23 x v v2 ( βw∗ βw∗ 2 α u α v 2α ww u α v d w α 3 31 32 33 31 x 13 x x dx x w w2 1 1 Aw av eu ∗ − dx u − u 1 − u − dx α v − v∗ m −1 1 bu 1 Bu Dw 1 bu 0 0 1 Eu β w − w∗ M −1 dx. 1 Bu Dw 0 3.2 The first integrand in the right hand of 3.2 is positive definite if 4αβu∗ v∗ w∗ d1 2α11 u α12 v α13 wd2 α21 u 2α22 v α23 wd3 α31 u α32 v 2α33 w 2 > u∗ αα23 v∗ w βα32 w∗ v d1 2α11 u α12 v α13 w 2 αv∗ α13 u∗ w βα31 w∗ u d2 α21 u 2α22 v α23 w βw∗ α12 u∗ v αα21 v∗ u2 d3 α31 u α32 v 2α33 w. 3.3 Abstract and Applied Analysis 23 By the maximum-norm estimate in Theorem 1.1, the condition 1.20 implies 3.3. Therefore, we have dH ≤ − dt 1' 1− 0 ( ABw∗ abv∗ − u − u∗ 2 dx 1 bu∗ 1 bu 1 Bu∗ Dw∗ 1 Bu Dw 1 MDEu∗ w − w∗ 2 dx ∗ Dw ∗ 1 Bu Dw Bu 1 0 1' 1 ( MDEu∗ ABw∗ abv∗ ∗ 2 ≤ − − dx − β 1− − u u w − w∗ 2 dx ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 1 bu 1 Bu Dw 0 0 1 Bu Dw 1 1 ∗ 2 − l1 u − u dx − βl2 w − w∗ 2 dx, −β 0 0 3.4 where l1 1 − abv∗ ABw∗ − , ∗ 1 bu 1 Bu∗ Dw∗ MDEu∗ l2 > 0. 1 Bu∗ Dw∗ 3.5 The condition 1.21 implies l1 > 0. Using the similar argument in the proof of Theorem 4.2 in 42, by the maximum-norm estimate in Theorem 1.1 and some tedious calculations, we can prove 1 lim t→∞ ∗ 2 u − u dx lim 0 t→∞ 1 0 ∗ 2 v − v dx lim t→∞ 1 w − w∗ 2 dx 0. 3.6 0 1/2 that It follows from 3.6 and Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type inequality |u|∞ ≤ C|u|1/2 1,2 |u|2 ∗ ∗ ∗ u, v, w converges uniformly on u , v , w . By the fact that Hu, v, w is decreasing for t ≥ 0, it is obvious that u∗ , v∗ , w∗ is globally asymptotically stable. So the proof of Theorem 1.3 is completed.
