The Buffered Chemostat with Non-Monotonic Response Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how a particular spatial structure with a buffer globally stabilizes the chemostat dynamics with non-monotonic response function, while this is not possible with single, serial or parallel chemostats of the same total volume and input flow. We give a characterization of the set of such configurations that satisfy this property, as well as the configuration that ensures the best nutrient conversion. Furthermore, we characterize the minimal buffer volume to be added to a single chemostat for obtaining the global stability. These results are illustrated with the Haldane kinetic function.

Extensions of the chemostat model with flocculation
In this work, we study a model of the chemostat where the species are present in two forms, isolated and aggregated individuals, such as attached bacteria or bacteria in flocks. We show that our general model contains a lot of models that were previously considered in the literature. Assuming that flocculation and deflocculation dynamics are fast compared to the growth of the species, we constr...
متن کاملQualitative analysis of a chemostat model with inhibitory exponential substrate uptake
In this paper, we consider a simple chemostat model involving a single species feeding on redundant substrate with a constant yield term. Many experiments indicate that very high substrate concentrations actually inhibit growth. Instead of assuming the prevalent Monod kinetics for growth rate of cells, we use a non-monotonic functional response function to describe the inhibitory effect. A deta...
متن کاملExtremum Seeking Via Continuation Techniques for Optimizing Biogas Production in the Chemostat
We consider the chemostat model with the substrate concentration as the single measurement. We propose a control strategy that drives the system at a steady state maximizing the gas production without the knowledge of the specific growth rate. Our approach separates the extremum seeking problem from the feedback control problem such that each of the two subproblems can be solved with relatively...

In practice, steel tubulars lack a mathematically perfect cylindrical shape, due to non-uniformities introduced during the manufacturing process, construction methods, damages incurred in the transport. The imperfections might exist in the cross section and along the tubular member. Imperfections can greatly affect the behavior of tubular members. The work presented in this paper is perusing ef...
متن کاملGlobal Dynamics of the Chemostat with Variable Yields
In this paper, we consider a competition model between n species in a chemostat including both monotone and non-monotone response functions, distinct removal rates and variable yields. We show that only the species with the lowest break-even concentration survives, provided that additional technical conditions on the growth functions and yields are satisfied. LaSalle’s extension theorem of the ...
