title: An exact analytical solution of a three-component model for competitive coexistence.
abstract: A three-component competition system is modeled as a reaction-diffusion process. An exact analytical solution has been found that indicates that in certain situations the classical results on extinction and coexistence of Lotka-Volterra-type equations are no longer valid. Cases with one or both predators diffuse are analyzed, and the stability question is discussed.
