Stability and Hopf bifurcation in a diffusive logistic population model with nonlocal delay effect

A reaction–diffusion model with logistic type growth, nonlocal delay effect and Dirichlet boundary condition is considered, and combined effect of the time delay and nonlocal spatial dispersal provides a more realistic way of modeling the complex spatiotemporal behavior. The stability of the positive spatially nonhomogeneous positive equilibrium and associated Hopf bifurcation are investigated for the case of near equilibrium bifurcation point and the case of spatially homogeneous dispersal kernel.
