Abstract
This paper is concerned with the nonlocal dispersal problem in inhomogeneous media. Our goal is to show the limiting behavior of perturbation equation with parameters. By analyzing the asymptotic behavior of solutions when the parameter is small, we find that convection appears in inhomogeneous media. Moreover, if the effect of inhomogeneous media changes, then we prove a convergence result that convection disappears in nonlocal dispersal problems.

1 Introduction
Let \(K:{\mathbb {R}}^N\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) be a nonnegative function such that \(\int _{{\mathbb {R}}^N}K(x)\,dx=1\). Nonlocal dispersal equation
and variations of it have been widely used to model diffusion process (see e.g. [3, 16]). As stated in [1, 12], if u(x, t) is thought as a density at position x at time t and the probability distribution that individuals jump from y to x is given by \(K(x-y)\), then \(\int _{{\mathbb {R}}^N}K(x-y)u(y,t)\,dy\) denotes the rate at which individuals are arriving to position x from all other places and \(u(x,t)=\int _{{\mathbb {R}}^N}K(y-x)u(x,t)\,dy\) is the rate at which they are leaving position x to all other places. This consideration, in the absence of external sources, leads immediately to that u satisfies (1.1). For recent references on nonlocal dispersal equations, see [2, 5, 9, 15, 27,28,29,30] and references therein.
Since the natural environments are generally heterogeneous and the habitat fragmentation makes a basic change on the spreading and diffusion of species [4, 19, 31]. In this case, the inhomogeneous media plays a great role in the study of evolution problems. We study the nonlocal dispersal problems in inhomogeneous media and consider the following nonlocal dispersal equation
here \(k_1,k_2\) are nonnegative dispersal kernel functions. In the present paper, we shall investigate the effect of spatial fragmentation on the solutions of (1.2). By employing a parameter in (1.2) and analyzing its limiting behavior of solutions, we provide an implicit understanding on the effect of heterogeneous environment. At this respect, we refer the reader to the seminal works of Cortazar et al. [7, 8], Molino and Rossi [18], Shen and Xie [26] on the study of approximation problems for nonlocal dispersal problems.
In this paper, we study two forms of kernel functions \(k_1,k_2\). We first assume that
here J is a nonnegative kernel function and g is a nonnegative weight function. Then we have the nonlocal dispersal equation
where \(\Omega \) a bounded smooth domain of \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\) and \(u_{0}(x)\) is the given initial value. In (1.3), let u(x, t) be the density of population at position x and time t, and the probability distribution that individual jump from position y to x be given by \(J(x-y)\). We assume the rate that individuals arrive at x is affected by the inhomogeneous media with weight function g(x). Then the rate that individuals arrive at x is given by
and the rate that individuals are leaving position x is given by
In fact, here we assume that the probability of population is affected by the inhomogeneous media with weight function at the location where they are going. Hence there has a nonsymmetric effect of inhomogeneous media. The case of symmetric effect is investigated in the second part below. Also in (1.3), the individuals live in \(\Omega \) and there is no individual outside \({{\bar{\Omega }}}\). This is called nonlocal Dirichlet boundary condition, see [6, 14]. Throughout this paper, we make the following assumptions.
- (A1):
-
\(J:{\mathbb {R}}^N\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) is nonnegative, radial, continuous with unit integral, J is strictly positive in B(0, 1) and vanishes in \({\mathbb {R}}^N\backslash B(0,1)\).
- (A2):
-
The functions \(g(x),u_0(x)\) are smooth in \({\bar{\Omega }}\) and \(g(x)>0\) for \(x\in {\bar{\Omega }}\).
The existence and uniqueness of solutions to (1.3) will be stated in Sect. 2. We show that there exists a unique solution u(x, t) to (1.3) such that
Our aim is to investigate the effect of inhomogeneous media on the the nonlocal evolution problem (1.3). Then we study the role of heterogeneous weight function g(x) by employing a parameter and investigate the limiting behavior of solutions when the parameter is small. So we consider the nonlocal dispersal equation
where \(\varepsilon >0\) is a small parameter and the kernel function \(J^\varepsilon (\cdot )\) is given by
with the constant
In this paper we obtain that the solution of (1.4) converges to the solution of the classical reaction–diffusion equation
as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\), here the coefficient p(x) is given by
Note that the regularity of solution u(x, t) to (1.7) is related to the initial value \(u_0(x)\) and the coefficient p(x), see [10, 11]. Let u(x, t) be the unique solution to (1.7) such that
for some \(0<\alpha <1\). We are ready to state the main result.
Theorem 1.1
Assume that \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\overline{\Omega }}\times [0,T])\) is the solution of (1.7) and \(u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) is the solution of (1.4) for \(\varepsilon >0\), respectively. Then there exists \(C=C(T)\) such that
From Theorem 1.1 we know that the inhomogeneous media may provide a linear increase (or decrease) on the nonlocal dispersal system (1.3) provided p(x) is positive (or negative).
Now we consider the second case that
in (1.2). In this case, we can see that the effect of inhomogenous media is related to the same position and there appears a symmetric effect of heterogeneous environment. So we may assume the rates that individuals arrive at x or departure form x are all affected by the inhomogeneous media with weight function g(y). We then have the following nonlocal dispersal equation
In order to study the effect of heterogeneous environment on the problem (1.9), we consider the following problem
here \(\varepsilon >0\) and the kernel function \(J^\varepsilon \) is given by (1.5). We prove that the limiting behavior of nonlocal dispersal Eq. (1.9) is similar to the convection–diffusion equation
here
and d is given by (1.6).
We have the following result for nonlocal problem (1.10).
Theorem 1.2
Assume that \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\overline{\Omega }}\times [0,T])\) is the solution of (1.11) and \(u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) is the solution of (1.10) for \(\varepsilon >0\), respectively. Then we have
The conclusion of Theorems 1.1–1.2 reveals different effects of inhomogeneous media on the nonlocal dispersal systems. In the later case (1.9), we can see that the convection appears in inhomogeneous media.
On the other hand, since the natural environment is typically periodic, it is interesting to consider the periodic evolution problems, see [20, 22,23,24]. This paper also deals with the periodic nonlocal dispersal equation
and
where \(\mathbf{e }=(\mathbf{e }_1,\mathbf{e }_2,\ldots ,\mathbf{e }_N)\) is the unit vector of \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\) and \(p_j>0\) for \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\), \(g,a,u_0\in C({\mathbb {R}}^{N})\) are periodic functions such that
It follows from [13, 24, 25] that (1.13) and (1.14) are related to the interesting problem whether the inhomogeneity speeds up the spreading speeds of
and
Our main goal is to examine the nonhomogeneous effects of g on the periodic nonlocal systems (1.13) and (1.14). To do this we first consider the periodic problem
where \(\varepsilon >0\) is a small parameter, \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\) and the kernel function \(J^\varepsilon (\cdot )\) is given by (1.5).
The main result of periodic nonlocal dispersal problem (1.16) is the next theorem.
Theorem 1.3
Assume that g(x), a(x), and \(u_0(x)\) satisfy (1.15). Assume further that \(g(x)>0\) for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^N\). Let \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\mathbb {R}}^N\times [0,\infty ))\) be the solution of
where p(x) is given by (1.8) and \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\). Then (1.16) admits a unique solution \(u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) for \(\varepsilon >0\) and there exists \(C=C(T)\) such that
for any \(T>0\).
At last, we consider the periodic nonlocal dispersal equation
where \(\varepsilon >0\) is a small parameter, \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\) and the kernel function \(J^\varepsilon (\cdot )\) is given by (1.5). Then we have the following theorem.
Theorem 1.4
Assume that g(x), a(x), and \(u_0(x)\) satisfy (1.15). Assume further that \(g(x)>0\) for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^N\). Let \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\mathbb {R}}^N\times [0,\infty ))\) be the solution of
where q(x) is given by (1.12) and \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\). Then (1.18) admits a unique solution \(u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) for \(\varepsilon >0\) and
for any \(T>0\).
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2 we prove existence, uniqueness and comparison principle for general nonlocal dispersal equations. The main results Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 are proved in Sect. 3. Section 4 is devoted to the periodic nonlocal problems.
2 Existence, Uniqueness and Comparison Principles
In this section, we first present some basic results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to nonlocal dispersal equations. To do this, we consider the following nonlocal dispersal equation
where \(k\in C({\bar{\Omega }}\times {\bar{\Omega }})\) is nonnegative and \(m\in C({{\bar{\Omega }}})\). Thus our problems (1.3) and (1.9) are special forms of (2.1).
Existence and uniqueness of solutions to (2.1) are followed from the classical semigroup theory (e.g., see the book of Pazy [21]). Let \(X=C({{\bar{\Omega }}})\), and \({\mathcal {G}}: X\rightarrow X\) be defined by
Then \({\mathcal {G}}:X\rightarrow X\) is a bounded linear operator. Hence for any \(u_0\in X\), (2.1) has a unique solution \(u(t,x;u_0)\) with \(u(0,x;u_0)=u_0(x)\) (see Theorem 1.2 in chapter 1 of [21]). In fact,
Remark 2.1
We can see that \(u\in C([0,\infty ); C({{\bar{\Omega }}})\) is a solution to (2.1) with the initial value \(u_0\in C({{\bar{\Omega }}})\) if and only if
and
We then have the following result on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the nonlocal problem (2.1).
Theorem 2.2
For every \(u_0\in C({{\bar{\Omega }}})\), there exists a unique solution u(x, t) to (2.1) and
Proof
It follows from the semigroup theory that there exists a unique solution u(x, t) of (2.1) defined in \({{\bar{\Omega }}}\times [0,\infty )\) and
For any \(\delta \ne 0\) and \(t>0\), we have
Thus from (2.3) and Lebesgue theorem, we obtain
and then (2.2) holds. \(\square \)
Now we give the definition of sub-super solutions to (2.1) and the corresponding comparison principle.
Definition 2.3
A function \(u\in C^1([0,T); C({{\bar{\Omega }}}))\) is a super-solution to (2.1) if
The sub-solution is defined analogously by reversing the inequalities.
Lemma 2.4
Assume that \(u_0(x)\) is nonnegative. Let u(x, t) be a super-solution to (2.1), then \(u(x,t)\ge 0\) for \((x,t)\in {{\bar{\Omega }}}\times (0,\infty )\).
Proof
We choose
and define
A direct computation gives that
for \(x\in {{\bar{\Omega }}},t>0\).
We only need to show that \(v(x,t)\ge 0\) for \((x,t)\in {{\bar{\Omega }}}\times (0,\infty )\). Assume by contradiction that v(x, t) is negative at some point in \({{\bar{\Omega }}}\times (0,\infty )\). Without loss of generality, let \(v(x_0,t_0)\) be the negative minimum of v(x, t) for some \((x_0,t_0)\in {{\bar{\Omega }}}\times (0,\infty )\). We have \(v_t(x_0,t_0)\le 0\) and \(v(x_0,t_0)<0\). But
we get a contradiction. This completes the proof. \(\square \)
Theorem 2.5
Assume that u(x, t) and v(x, t) are a pair of super-sub solutions to (2.1). Then \(u(x,t)\ge v(x,t)\) for \((x,t)\in {{\bar{\Omega }}}\times [0,\infty )\).
Proof
Denote \(\omega (x,t)=u(x,t)-v(x,t)\), we have
and the conclusion is followed by Lemma 2.4. \(\square \)
At the end of this section, we consider the periodic nonlocal dispersal equation
where \(\mathbf{e }=(\mathbf{e }_1,\mathbf{e }_2,\ldots ,\mathbf{e }_N)\) is the unit vector of \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\) and \(p_j>0\) for \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\), \(l,m,u_0\in C({\mathbb {R}}^{N})\) are periodic functions such that
for \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\). We then have the following results, the proof is similar to Theorems 2.2 and 2.5 .
Theorem 2.6
Assume that \(l(x)\ge 0\) for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}\). Then for every \(u_0\in C({{\bar{\Omega }}})\), there exists a unique solution u(x, t) to (2.4) and
Theorem 2.7
Assume that u(x, t) and v(x, t) are a pair of super-sub solutions to (2.4). Then \(u(x,t)\ge v(x,t)\) for \((x,t)\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}\times [0,\infty )\).
3 Heterogeneous Nonlocal Dispersal Equation
In this section, we consider the nonlocal dispersal problems (1.3) and (1.9). We first study the case that the inhomogeneous media provides a linear increase (or decrease) on the nonlocal dispersal system.
Proof of Theorem 1.1
In (1.7), the functions p(x) and \(u_0(x)\) are smooth, we then can extend the solution u(x, t) to the whole space \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\), still denoted by u(x, t), see [11, 17]. Define
and
Then we know that u(x, t) satisfies
where
the function H(x, t) is smooth and \(H(x,t)=0\) for \(x\in \partial \Omega \). Thus we can find \(M_{1}>0\), such that
for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}\backslash {{\bar{\Omega }}},t\in (0,T]\).
The existence and uniqueness of solution \(u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) to (1.4) are followed by Theorem 2.2. Denote \(\omega ^{\varepsilon }(x,t)=u(x,t)-u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\), then we get
where
Note that \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\overline{\Omega }}\times [0,T])\), we claim that there exists \(M_{2}>0\) such that
In fact, we know that
On the other hand, since \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\overline{\Omega }}\times [0,T])\), we get
here \(y=(y_1,y_2,\ldots ,y_N)\). By the assumption (A1) we have
for \(i=1,2\ldots ,N\) and
for \(i,j=1,2\ldots ,N\) and \(i\ne j\). Accordingly,
Meanwhile, we have
Using (3.4) and (3.5), we obtain (3.3).
Now denote
we have
for \(x\in {{\bar{\Omega }}}\). Then from (3.2) we get
for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}\backslash \Omega \) and \(t\in [0,T]\). Moreover, it is clear that
Thanks to (3.6)–(3.7), from the comparison principle we know that
Hence we have that \({\overline{w}}(x,t)\) is a super-solution to (3.1).
By a similar way, we can show that
is a sub-solution and
Thus
and we end the proof. \(\square \)
Now we analyze the nonlocal dispersal Eq. (1.9) and the parameter Eq. (1.10). Let us first consider the second-order parabolic equation
where
for \(i,j=1,2\ldots ,N\) and \(\varepsilon >0\). We know from [11, 17] that (3.8) exists a unique solution
We then have the following results.
Lemma 3.1
Let u(x, t) and \({\hat{u}}^\varepsilon (x,t)\) be the solutions of (1.11) and (3.8), respectively. Then we have
Proof
In fact, we can see that
for \(i,j=1,2,\ldots ,N\) and
for \(i\ne j\). Thus we get
Meanwhile, since
we obtain
Using (1.12) we have that (3.9) holds. \(\square \)
Lemma 3.2
Let \(u^\varepsilon (x,t)\) be the solution of (1.10) and \({\hat{u}}^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) be the solution of (3.8), respectively. Then we have
Proof
We can extend \(u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) to \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\times [0,T]\). Denote
Then \({\hat{u}}^\varepsilon (x,t)\) satisfies
where
the function H(x, t) is smooth, \(H(x,t)=0 \) for \(x\in \partial \Omega \) and there exists \(M_1>0\) such that
for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}\backslash {{\bar{\Omega }}}\), \(t\in (0,T]\).
Set \(v^\varepsilon (x,t)={\hat{u}}^\varepsilon (x,t)-u^\varepsilon (x,t)\), then we have
But
we have
Thus for \(\varepsilon >0\) is small, there exists \(M_2>0\) such that
Denote
It follows from (3.10) that
for \(x\in {{\bar{\Omega }}}\). We also have
for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}\backslash {{\bar{\Omega }}}\) such that \(dist(x,\partial \Omega )\le \varepsilon \) and \(t\in [0,T]\). Moreover we have
Then a simple argument form comparison principle gives that
We end the proof. \(\square \)
At last, let \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\overline{\Omega }}\times [0,T])\) be the solution of (1.11). Then we have
It follows from Lemmas 3.1–3.2 that
and we end the proof of Theorem 1.2.
4 The Periodic Nonlocal Boundary Problems
In this section, we consider the periodic nonlocal boundary problems (1.13) and (1.14). To do this, we first investigate the effect of spatial homogeneity on the periodic problem (1.13) and so we shall analyze the limiting behavior of solutions of (1.16).
It follows from Theorem 2.6 that there exists a unique periodic solution \(u^\varepsilon (x,t)\) to (1.16). Now let \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\mathbb {R}}^N\times [0,\infty ))\) be the solution of
where \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\) and p(x) is the periodic coefficient given by
We are ready to prove the first result of periodic boundary problem.
Proof of Theorem 1.3
Set
and
Then we know that the unique solution u(x, t) of (4.1) satisfies
where \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\) and
Denote \(\omega ^{\varepsilon }(x,t)=u(x,t)-u^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\), then we get
where \(j=1,2,\ldots ,N\) and
Since \(u\in C^{2+\alpha ,1+\alpha /2}({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\times [0,T])\) is periodic, we can find \(M>0\) such that
Let
a similar argument as in the proof of Theorem 1.1 gives that
and we end the proof. \(\square \)
At the end of this section, we study the periodic nonlocal problem (1.18). So we consider the periodic parabolic equation
where the coefficients
for \(i,j=1,2\ldots ,N\) and \(\varepsilon >0\).
Then we have the following results, we omit the proof here.
Lemma 4.1
Let u(x, t) and \({\hat{u}}^\varepsilon (x,t)\) be the solutions of (1.19) and (4.2), respectively. Then we have
Lemma 4.2
Let \(u^\varepsilon (x,t)\) be the solution of (1.18) and \({\hat{u}}^{\varepsilon }(x,t)\) be the solution of (4.2), respectively. Then we have
Theorem 1.4 is followed by Lemmas 4.1–4.2 and a similar argument as in the proof of Theorem 1.2.
