  In this paper, we investigate an initial-boundary-value problem of a
reaction-diffusion equation in a bounded domain with a Robin boundary condition
and introduce some particular parameters to consider the non-zero flux on the
boundary. This problem arises in the study of mosquito populations under the
intervention of the population replacement method, where the boundary condition
takes into account the inflow and outflow of individuals through the boundary.
Using phase-plane analysis, the present paper studies the existence and
properties of non-constant steady-state solutions depending on several
parameters. Then, we use the principle of linearized stability to prove some
sufficient conditions for their stability. We show that the long-time
efficiency of this control method depends strongly on the size of the treated
zone and the migration rate. To illustrate these theoretical results, we
provide some numerical simulations in the framework of mosquito population
control.
