Competitive Exclusion in a Discrete-time, Size-structured Chemostat Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Competitive exclusion is proved for a discrete-time, size-structured, nonlinear matrix model of m-species competition in the chemostat. The winner is the population able to grow at the lowest nutrient concentration. This extends the results of earlier work of the first author [11] where the case m = 2 was treated.

A numerical method for discrete fractional--order chemostat model derived from nonstandard numerical scheme
In this paper, the fractional--order form of three dimensional chemostat model with variable yields is introduced. The stability analysis of this fractional system is discussed in detail. In order to study the dynamic behaviours of the mentioned fractional system, the well known nonstandard (NSFD) scheme is implemented. The proposed NSFD scheme is compared with the forward Euler and ...
متن کاملGlobal Asymptotic Behavior of a Chemostat Model with Discrete Delays
This paper studies the global asymptotic behavior of an exploitative competition model between n species in a chemostat. The model incorporates discrete time delays to describe the delay in the conversion of nutrient consumed to viable biomass and hence includes delays simultaneously in variables of nutrient and species concentrations. In the case where only two species are engaged in competiti...
متن کاملA discrete, size-structured model of phytoplankton growth in the chemostat: introduction of inhomogeneous cell division size.
We introduce inhomogeneous, substrate dependent cell division in a time discrete, nonlinear matrix model of size-structured population growth in the chemostat, first introduced by Gage et al. [8] and later analysed by Smith [13]. We show that mass conservation is verified, and conclude that our system admits one non zero globally stable equilibrium, which we express explicitly. Then we run nume...
