Mathematical and numerical analysis for predator-prey system in a polluted environment
Abstract:
In this paper, we prove existence results for a Predator-prey system in a polluted environment. The existence result is proved by the Schauder fixed-point theorem. Moreover, we construct a combined finite volume - finite element scheme to our model, we establish existence of discrete solutions, and shown that the scheme converges to the corresponding weak solution for the studied model. The convergence proof is based on deriving series of a priori estimates and using a general $L^p$ compactness criterion. Finally we give some numerical examples.
