Abstract
An example of a noise-induced phase transition in a chemical system with diffusion is studied. It is shown that effects of diffusion can radically change the classical results on extinction and coexistence in the models of Lotka-Volterra type. Fluctuation phenomena near the point of the noise-induced phase transition are discussed.
