Concerning a class of diffusive logistic equations, Ni [1,Abstract] proposed an optimization problem to consider the supremum of the ratio of the $ L^1 $ norms of species and resources by varying the diffusion rates and the profiles of resources, and moreover, he gave a conjecture that the supremum is $ 3 $ in the one-dimensional case. In [1], Bai, He and Li proved the validity of this conjecture. The present paper shows that the supremum is infinity in a case when the habitat is a multi-dimensional ball. Our proof is based on the sub-super solution method. A key idea of the proof is to construct an $ L^1 $ unbounded sequence of sub-solutions.

Keywords: Diffusive logistic equation, elliptic equations, the sub-super solution method, radial solutions, mathematical ecology.
