Further studies of a reaction-diffusion system for an unstirred chemostat with internal storage

چکیده
The dynamics of a reaction-diffusion system for two species of microorganism in an unstirred chemostat with internal storage is studied. It is shown that the diffusion coefficient is a key parameter of determining the asymptotic dynamics, and there exists a threshold diffusion coefficient above which both species become extinct. On the other hand, for diffusion coefficient below the threshold, either one species or both species persist, and in the asymptotic limit, a steady state showing competition exclusion or coexistence is reached.

متن کاملOn a Mathematical Model Arising from Competition of Phytoplankton Species for a Single Nutrient with Internal Storage: Steady State Analysis
In this paper we construct a mathematical model of two microbial populations competing for a single-limited nutrient with internal storage in an unstirred chemostat. First we establish the existence and uniqueness of steadystate solutions for the single population. The conditions for the coexistence of steady states are determined. Techniques include the maximum principle, theory of bifurcation...
متن کاملA Delayed Chemostat Model with Impulsive Diffusion and Input on Nutrients
A chemostat model with delayed response in growth and impulsive diffusion and input on nutrients is considered. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain a microorganism-extinction periodic solution. Further, it is globally attractive. The permanent condition of the investigated system is also obtained by the theory on impulsive delay differential equatio...
متن کاملCompetition between microorganisms for a single limiting resource with cell quota structure and spatial variation.
Microbial populations compete for nutrient resources, and the simplest mathematical models of competition neglect differences in the nutrient content of individuals. The simplest models also assume a spatially uniform habitat. Here both of these assumptions are relaxed. Nutrient content of individuals is assumed proportional to cell size, which varies for populations that reproduce by division,...
متن کاملBifurcation and Stability for the Unstirred Chemostat Model with Beddington-deangelis Functional
Abstract. In this paper, we consider a basic N-dimensional competition model in the unstirred chemostat with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The bifurcation solutions from a simple eigenvalue and a double eigenvalue are obtained respectively. In particular, for the double eigenvalue, we establish the existence and stability of coexistence solutions by the techniques of space decomposi...
