Abstract: This paper focuses on a strongly coupled specific ecological system consisting of two prey species and one predator. We explore a unique positive equilibrium solution of the system that is globally asymptotically stable. Additionally, we show that this equilibrium solution remains locally linearly stable, even in the presence of diffusion. This means that the system does not follow classical Turing instability. However, it becomes linearly unstable only when cross-diffusion also plays a role in the system, which is called a cross-diffusion-induced instability. The corresponding numerical simulations are also demonstrated and we obtain the spatial patterns.
