The nonlinear $L^2$-stability (instability) of the equilibrium states
of two-species population dynamics with dispersal is studied. The obtained
results are based on (i) the rigorous reduction of the $L^2$-nonlinear stability to
the stability of the zero solution of a linear binary system of ODEs and (ii) the
introduction of a particular Liapunov functional V such that the sign of
$\frac{dV}{dt}$ along the solutions is linked directly to the eigenvalues of the linear problem.

Abstract
The nonlinear $L^2$-stability (instability) of the equilibrium states
of two-species population dynamics with dispersal is studied. The obtained
results are based on (i) the rigorous reduction of the $L^2$-nonlinear stability to
the stability of the zero solution of a linear binary system of ODEs and (ii) the
introduction of a particular Liapunov functional V such that the sign of
$\frac{dV}{dt}$ along the solutions is linked directly to the eigenvalues of the linear problem.
