SynopsisA Volterra integro-partial differential equation of parabolic type, which describes the time evolution of a population in a bounded habitat, subject both to past history and space diffusion effects, is investigated; general homogeneous boundary conditions are admissible. Under suitable conditions, the unique nontrivial nonnegative equilibrium is shown to be globally attractive in the supremum norm. Monotone methods are the main tool of the proof.

SummaryIt is shown that the elementary solution Γ(x, ξ; t – τ) of the equationbehaves, as t → τ + O, in very much the same manner as the elementary solution of the equation of heat.
