  • In this paper, we study the follwing important elliptic system which arises from the Lotka-Volterra ecological model in $ \mathbb{R}^N $

    $ \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u+\lambda u = \mu_1u^2+\beta uv, & x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\\ -\Delta v+\lambda v = \mu_2v^2+\beta uv, & x\in \mathbb{R}^N,\\ u, v>0, u, v\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{cases} \end{equation*} $

    where $ N\leq 5, $ $ \lambda, \mu_1, \mu_2 $ are positive constants, $ \beta\geq 0 $ is a coupling constant. Firstly, we prove the uniqueness of positive solutions under general conditions, then we show the nondegeneracy of the positive solution and the degeneracy of semi-trivial solutions. Finally, we give a complete classification of positive solutions when $ \mu_1 = \mu_2 = \beta. $
