On almost periodicity of delayed predator–prey model with mutual interference and discontinuous harvesting policies

The objective of this paper is to investigate the almost periodic dynamics for a class of delayed predator–prey model with mutual interference and Beddington–DeAngelis type functional response, in which the harvesting policies are modeled by discontinuous functions. Based on the theory of functional differential inclusions theory and set‐valued analysis, the solution in sense of Filippov of system with the discontinuous harvesting policies is given, and the local and global existence of positive the solution in sense of Filippov of the system is studied. By employing generalized differential inequalities, some useful Lemmas are obtained. After that, sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence of the system are obtained in view of the constructed Lemmas. By constructing some suitable generalized Lyapunov functional, a series of useful criteria on existence, uniqueness, and global attractivity of the almost positive periodic solution to the system are derived in view of functional differential inclusions theory and nonsmooth analysis theory. Some suitable examples together with their numeric simulations are given to substantiate the theoretical results and to illustrate various dynamical behaviors of the system.

Global exponential convergence in a delayed almost periodic Nicholson's blowflies model with discontinuous harvesting

This paper is concerned with a delayed Nicholson's blowflies model with discontinuous harvesting, which is described by an almost periodic nonsmooth dynamical system. Under some reasonable assumptions on the discontinuous harvesting function, by using the Filippov regulation techniques and the theory of dichotomy, together with the Halanay inequality, we establish some new criteria on the existence of positive almost periodic solution and its convergence. An example with numerical simulation is also presented to support the theoretical results.     

Global asymptotic stability of a class of nonautonomous integro-differential systems and applications

In this paper, we study the global asymptotic stability of a class of nonautonomous integro-differential systems. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, we establish new and explicit criteria for the global asymptotic stability in the sense of Definition 2.1. In the autonomous case, we discuss the global asymptotic stability of a unique equilibrium of the system, and in the case of periodic system, we establish sufficient criteria for existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of a periodic solution. Also explored are applications of our main results to some biological and neural network models. The examples show that our criteria are more general and easily applicable, and improve and generalize some existing results.     

具有热储备的可修复平行系统在由常规错误引起失效下的渐进稳定性

讨论了具有热储备和两个独立相同部件的平行系统在由常规错误引起失效下的渐进稳定性.首先,利用Banach空间的Volttera算子方程得到了非负动态解的存在唯一性;然后,利用强连续线性算子半群理论证明了系统正的动态解的存在唯一性,而由于初始值不在定义域内,故得到的是mild解.但在t＞0时系统古典解存在唯一,所以此时mild解即为古典解.最后,利用线性算子半群稳定性的结果,证明了该动态解在范数意义下收敛到稳态解,进而得到了系统的渐进稳定性.     

Existence and global asymptotic stability of periodic solutions for Hopfield neural networks with discontinuous activations

In this paper, we study a class of neural networks with discontinuous activations, which include bidirectional associative memory networks and cellular networks as its special cases. By the Leray–Schauder alternative theorem, matrix theory and generalized Lyapunov approach, we obtain some sufficient conditions ensuring the existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of the periodic solution. Our results are less restrictive than previously known criteria and can be applied to neural networks with a broad range of activation functions assuming neither boundedness nor monotonicity.     

Reaction diffusion equation with spatio-temporal delay

We investigate reaction–diffusion equation with spatio-temporal delays, the global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of solutions for which in relation to constant steady-state solution, included in the region of attraction of a stable steady solution. It is shown that if the delay reaction function satisfies some conditions and the system possesses a pair of upper and lower solutions then there exists a unique global solution. In terms of the maximal and minimal constant solutions of the corresponding steady-state problem, we get the asymptotic stability of reaction–diffusion equation with spatio-temporal delay. Applying this theory to Lotka–Volterra model with spatio-temporal delay, we get the global solution asymptotically tend to the steady-state problem’s steady-state solution.     

Dynamical behaviors of a class of recurrent neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations

This paper investigates the dynamics of a class of recurrent neural networks where the neural activations are modeled by discontinuous functions. Without presuming the boundedness of activation functions, the sufficient conditions to ensure the existence, uniqueness, global exponential stability and global convergence of state equilibrium point and output equilibrium point are derived, respectively. Furthermore, under certain conditions we prove that the system is convergent globally in finite time. The analysis in the paper is based on the properties of M-matrix, Lyapunov-like approach, and the theories of differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side as introduced by Filippov. The obtained results extend previous works on global stability of recurrent neural networks with not only Lipschitz continuous but also discontinuous neural activation functions.

Well‐posedness,smooth dependence and centre manifold reduction for a semilinear hyperbolic system from laser dynamics

We prove existence, uniqueness, regularity and smooth dependence of the weak solution on the initial data for a semilinear, first order, dissipative hyperbolic system with discontinuous coefficients. Such hyperbolic systems have successfully been used to model the dynamics of distributed feedback multisection semiconductor lasers. We show that in a function space of continuous functions the weak solutions generate a smooth skew product semiflow. Using slow fast structure and dissipativity we prove the existence of smooth exponentially attracting invariant centre manifolds for the non‐autonomous model.

Global dynamics behaviors for a nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra almost periodic dispersal system with delays

A nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra dispersal system with continuous delays and discrete delays is considered. By using a comparison theorem and delay differential equation basic theory, we obtain sufficient conditions for the permanence of the population in every patch. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, we prove that the system is globally asymptotically stable under some appropriate conditions. Using almost periodic functional hull theory, we get sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness and globally asymptotical stability for an almost periodic solution. This implies that the population in every patch exhibits stable almost periodic fluctuation. Furthermore, the results show that the permanence and global stability of system, and the existence and uniqueness of a positive almost periodic solution, depend on the delay; then we call it “profitless”.

Global stability of a periodic Holling‐Tanner predator‐prey model

This paper is concerned with the global dynamics of a Holling‐Tanner predator‐prey model with periodic coefficients. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive solution and its global asymptotic stability. The stability conditions are first given in average form and afterward as pointwise estimates. In the autonomous case, the previous criteria lead to a known result.     

Periodic solution and its stability of a delayed Beddington‐DeAngelis type predator‐prey system with discontinuous control strategy

This paper investigates the periodic solution of a delayed Beddington‐DeAngelis (BD) type predator‐prey model with discontinuous control strategy. Firstly, the regularity and visibility analysis of the delayed predator‐prey model is carried out by using the principle of differential inclusion. Secondly, the positiveness and boundeness of the solution is discussed by employing the comparison theorem. Based on the boundary conditions of the model and the Mawhin‐like coincidence theorem, it is shown that the solution of the delayed BD system is asymptotically stable in finite time. Furthermore, it is found that there exists at least one periodic solution of the nonautonomous delayed predator‐prey model by using the principle of topological degree and set value mapping. Specially, when the nonautonomous delayed BD system degenerates into an autonomous system, some criteria are obtained to guarantee the convergence behavior of the harvesting solutions for the corresponding autonomous delayed BD system. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of main results. It is worthy to point out that the discontinuous control strategy is superior to the continuous harvesting policies adopted in existing literature.     

Global dynamics of a nonlocal population model with age structure in a bounded domain:A non-monotone case

We study the global dynamics of a nonlocal population model with age structure in a bounded domain. We mainly concern with the case where the birth rate decreases as the mature population size become large. The analysis is rather subtle and it is inadequate to apply the powerful theory of monotone dynamical systems. By using the method of super-sub solutions, combined with the careful analysis of the kernel function in the nonlocal term, we prove nonexistence, existence and uniqueness of positive steady states of the model.Moreover, due to the mature individuals do not diffuse, the solution semiflow to the model is not compact. To overcome the difficulty of non-compactness in describing the global asymptotic stability of the unique positive steady state, we first establish an appropriate comparison principle. With the help of the comparison principle,we can employ the theory of dissipative systems to obtain the global asymptotic stability of the unique positive steady state. The main results are illustrated with the nonlocal Nicholson's blowflies equation and the nonlocal Mackey-Glass equation.     

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS AND ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF A NONAUTONOMOUS PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH STAGE-STRUCTURE AND DELAY

In this paper, by using the comparing theorem, Razumikhin-type theorem and V-function method, we consider a nonautonomous predator-prey system with stage-structure and time-delay. We get the sufficient conditions for the uniform persistence and the solutions global attractivity of this system. For a periodic system, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of a positive periodic solution of this system. For an almost periodic system, we prove the existence and the uniform asymptotic stability of the almost periodic solutions of this system.     

Stability analysis for periodic solution of BAM neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and impulses

In this paper, we present a general class of BAM neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and impulses. By using the fixed point theorem in differential inclusions theory, we investigate the existence of periodic solution for this neural network. By constructing the suitable Lyapunov function, we give a sufficient condition which ensures the uniqueness and global exponential stability of the periodic solution. The results of this paper show that the Forti’s conjecture is true for BAM neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations and impulses. Further, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results obtained in this paper.     

Dynamics of a nonautonomous predator-prey system with the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response

In this paper, we systematically study the dynamics of a nonautonomous predator-prey system with the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The explorations involve the permanence, extinction, global asymptotic stability (general nonautonomous case); the existence, uniqueness and stability of a positive (almost) periodic solution and a boundary (almost) periodic solution for the periodic (almost periodic) case. The paper ends with some interesting numerical simulations that complement our analytical findings.     

Almost periodicity for a class of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activations

The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of a class of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations. By means of retarded differential inclusions, we obtain a result on the local existence of solutions, which improves the previous related results for delayed neural networks. It is shown that an M-matrix condition satisfied by the neuron interconnections, can guarantee not only the existence and uniqueness of an almost periodic solution, but also its global exponential stability. It is also shown that the M-matrix condition ensures that all solutions of the system display a common asymptotic behavior. In this paper, we prove that the existence interval of the almost periodic solution is (?∞, +∞), whereas the existence interval is only proved to be [0, +∞) in most of the literature. As special cases, we derive the results of existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of a periodic solution for delayed neural networks with periodic coefficients, as well as the similar results of an equilibrium for the systems with constant coefficients. To the author’s knowledge, the results in this paper are the only available results on almost periodicity for Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activations and delays.
