Abstract

We study a discrete time spatial branching system on $Z^d$ with logistic-type local regulation at each deme depending on a weighted average of the population in neighbouring demes. We show that the system survives for all time with positive probability if the competition term is small enough. For a restricted set of parameter values, we also obtain uniqueness of the non-trivial equilibrium and complete convergence, as well as long-term coexistence in a related two-type model.
