In this paper we consider a system of reaction–diffusion–advection equations with a free boundary, which arises in a competition ecological model in heterogeneous environment. The evolution of the free-boundary problem is discussed, which is an extension of the results of Du and Lin (Discrete Contin. Dynam. Syst. B19 (2014), 3105–3132). Precisely, when u is an inferior competitor, we prove that (u, v) → (0, V) as t→∞. When u is a superior competitor, we prove that a spreading–vanishing dichotomy holds, namely, as t→∞, either h(t)→∞ and (u, v) → (U, 0), or limt→∞h(t) < ∞ and (u, v) → (0, V). Moreover, in a weak competition case, we prove that two competing species coexist in the long run, while in a strong competition case, two species spatially segregate as the competition rates become large. Furthermore, when spreading occurs, we obtain some rough estimates of the asymptotic spreading speed.

In this paper, we study a competitive diffusion quasilinear system with a free boundary. First, we investigate the mathematical questions of the problem. A priori estimates of Schauder type are established, which are necessary for the solvability of the problem. One of two competing species is an invader, which initially exists on a certain sub-interval. The other is initially distributed throughout the area under consideration. Examining the influence of baseline data on the success or failure of the first invasion. We conclude that there is a dichotomy of spread and extinction and give precise criteria for spread and extinction in this model.

We consider travelling wave solutions of a reaction–diffusion system arising in a model for infiltration with changing porosity due to reaction. We show that the travelling wave solution exists, and is unique modulo translations. A small parameter ε appears in this problem. The formal limit as ε → 0 is a free boundary problem. We show that the solution for ε > 0 tends, in a suitable norm, to the solution of the formal limit.
