Cantrell-Cosner-Lou concentration conjecture for positive local maxima

Let uu be the unique positive steady-state of the ecological model under (H1), where m(x)C3(Ω)m(x)\in C^{3}(\overline{\Omega}) and is positive somewhere. The parameter α\alpha denotes the large advection parameter.

Cantrell-Cosner-Lou concentration conjecture. uu concentrates precisely on the set of positive local maximum points of m(x)m(x) as α\alpha\rightarrow\infty.

This conjecture concerns the concentration profile of the steady-state population as advection becomes large, refining known results that the total population tends to zero when the critical-point set of mm has Lebesgue measure zero and that, in one dimension under suitable finiteness assumptions, uu tends uniformly to zero away from critical points. The supplied text gives no resolution status for the conjecture.
