Abstract
We discuss non-negative solutions of a Lotka-Volterra competing species system which includes the effect of diffusion. We discuss when the populations coexist, and secondly the behaviour of the system when the interaction between the systems are large. The limiting problems here raise interesting questions for scalar equations.
