Abstract This paper is concerned with a time periodic competition–diffusion system { u t = u x x + u (r 1 (t) − a 1 (t) u − b 1 (t) v) , t > 0 , x ∈ R , v t = d v x x + v (r 2 (t) − a 2 (t) u − b 2 (t) v) , t > 0 , x ∈ R , where u (t , x) and v (t , x) denote the densities of two competing species, d > 0 is some constant, r i (t) , a i (t) and b i (t) are T -periodic continuous functions. Under suitable conditions, it has been confirmed by Bao and Wang (2013) [2] that this system admits periodic traveling fronts connecting two stable semi-trivial T -periodic solutions (p (t) , 0) and (0 , q (t)) associated to the corresponding kinetic system. In the present work, we first investigate the asymptotic behavior of periodic bistable traveling fronts with non-zero speeds at infinity by a dynamical approach combined with the two-sided Laplace transform method. With these asymptotic properties, we then obtain some key estimates. As a result, by applying the super- and subsolutions techniques as well as the comparison principle, we establish the existence and various qualitative properties of the so-called entire solutions defined for all time and the whole space, which provides some new spreading ways other than periodic traveling waves for two strongly competing species interacting in a heterogeneous environment.

Some new results are obtained for the existence of at least single, twin or triple positive solutions of the above problem by using Krasnosel''skii''s fixed point theorem, new fixed point theorem due to Avery and Henderson and Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem. This is probably the first time the existence of positive solutions of one-dimensional p-Laplacian boundary value problems on time scales has been studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
