Description The paper introduces a discrete analogy of the reaction-diffusion partial differential equation. Both the time and the space are considered to be discrete, the space is represented by a simple graph. The equation is derived from ``first principles''. Basic qualitative properties, namely, existence and stability of equilibria are discussed. The results are demonstrated on a particular system that can be interpreted as a model of metapopulation on interconnected patches with a deadly boundary. A condition for size of habitat needed for population survival is established.
