In this paper we study positive steady-state solutions of a reaction-d
iffusion model, the Lotka-Volterra competition system, under homogeneo
us Dirichlet boundary conditions. We extend previous results on existe
nce and nonuniqueness of coexistence solutions to larger areas of para
meter space. The techniques we use are multiparameter bifurcation theo
ry, variational inequalities, and elliptic theory. (C) 1994 Academic P
