title: The effect of diffusion on two predators exploiting a resource.
abstract: This paper deals with the stabilizing effect of diffusion on a system of a living resource supporting two noncompeting predators. It is shown that while the three species mathematical model without diffusion is unstable, the model with diffusion is asymptotically stable provided the diffusion coefficient of the resource exceeds a certain threshold value.
