摘要

We consider the influence of a shifting environment and an advection on the spreading of an invasive species through a model given by the diffusive logistic equation with a free boundary. When the environment is shifting and without advection (beta = 0), Du et al. (Spreading in a shifting environment modeled by the diffusive logistic equation with a free boundary. arXiv:1508.06246, 2015) showed that the species always dies out when the shifting speed c(*) >= C, and the long-time behavior of the species is determined by trichotomy when the shifting speed c(*) is an element of (0, C). Here we mainly consider the problems with advection and shifting speed c(*) is an element of (0, C) (the case c(*) >= C can be studied by similar methods in this paper). We prove that there exist beta* < 0 and beta(*) > 0 such that the species always dies out in the long-run when beta <= beta*, while for beta is an element of (beta*, beta(*)) or beta = beta(*), the long-time behavior of the species is determined by the corresponding trichotomies respectively.
