Global Stability in Chemostat-type Equations with Distributed Delays∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a chemostat-type model in which a single species feeds on a limiting nutrient supplied at a constant rate. The model incorporates a general nutrient uptake function and two distributed (infinite) delays. The first delay models the fact that the nutrient is partially recycled after the death of the biomass by bacterial decomposition, and the second delay indicates that the growth of the species depends on the past concentration of the nutrient. By constructing appropriate Liapunov-like functionals, we obtain sufficient conditions for local and global stability of the positive equilibrium of the model. Quantitative estimates on the size of the delays for local and global stability are also obtained with the help of the Liapunov-like functionals. The technique we use in this paper may be used as well to study global stability of other types of physical models with distributed delays.

GLOBAL ROBUST STABILITY CRITERIA FOR T-S FUZZY SYSTEMS WITH DISTRIBUTED DELAYS AND TIME DELAY IN THE LEAKAGE TERM
The paper is concerned with robust stability criteria for Takagi- Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with distributed delays and time delay in the leakage term. By exploiting a model transformation, the system is converted to one of the neutral delay system. Global robust stability result is proposed by a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which takes into account the range of delay and by making use o...
متن کاملGlobal stability in chemostat-type plankton models with delayed nutrient recycling
In this paper, we consider chemostat-type plankton models in which plankton feeds on a limiting nutrient and the nutrient is supplied at a constant rate and is partially recycled after the death of plankton by bacterial decomposition. We use a distributed delay to describe nutrient recycling and a discrete delay to model the planktonic growth response to nutrient uptake. When one or both delays...
متن کاملStability in chemostat equations with delayed nutrient recycling.
The growth of a species feeding on a limiting nutrient supplied at a constant rate is modelled by chemostat-type equations with a general nutrient uptake function and delayed nutrient recycling. Conditions for boundedness of the solutions and the existence of non-negative equilibria are given for the integrodifferential equations with distributed time lags. When the time lags are neglected cond...
متن کاملGlobal exponential stability of nonautonomous neural network models with continuous distributed delays
For a family of non-autonomous differential equations with distributed delays, we give sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability of an equilibrium point. This family includes most of the delayed models of neural networks of Hopfield type, with time-varying coefficients and distributed delays. For these models, we establish sufficient conditions for their global exponential stab...
متن کاملGlobal Asymptotic Behavior of a Chemostat Model with Two Perfectly Complementary Resources and Distributed Delay
A model of the chemostat involving two species of microorganisms competing for two perfectly complementary, growth-limiting nutrients is considered. The model incorporates distributed time delay in the form of integral differential equations in order to describe the time involved in converting nutrient to biomass. The delays are included in the nutrient and species concentrations simultaneously...
