Global asymptotic stability in n-species nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra competitive systems with infinite delays

By means of Lyapunov functional, we have succeeded in establishing the global asymptotic stability of the positive solutions of a delayed n-species nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra type competitive system without dominating instantaneous negative feedbacks. As a corollary, we show that the global asymptotic stability of the positive solution is maintained provided that the delayed negative feedbacks dominate other interspecific interaction effects with delays and the mean delays are sufficiently small.     

Local and global stability for Lotka-Volterra systems with distributed delays and instantaneous negative feedbacks

This paper addresses the local and global stability of n-dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems with distributed delays and instantaneous negative feedbacks. Necessary and sufficient conditions for local stability independent of the choice of the delay functions are given, by imposing a weak nondelayed diagonal dominance which cancels the delayed competition effect. The global asymptotic stability of positive equilibria is established under conditions slightly stronger than the ones required for the linear stability. For the case of monotone interactions, however, sharper conditions are presented. This paper generalizes known results for discrete delays to systems with distributed delays. Several applications illustrate the results.     

Asymptotic stability for delayed logistic type equations

We study the stability of scalar delayed equations of logistic type with a positive equilibrium and a linear logistic term. The global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium, called the carrying capacity, is proven imposing a condition on a negative feedback term without delay dominating the delayed effect. It turns out that this assumption is a necessary and sufficient condition for the linearized equation about the positive equilibrium to be asymptotically stable, globally in the delays. The global stability of more general scalar delay differential equations is also addressed.

Global asymptotic behavior in a Lotka–Volterra competition system with spatio-temporal delays

This paper is concerned with a Lotka–Volterra competition system with spatio-temporal delays. By using the linearization method, we show the local asymptotic behavior of the nonnegative steady-state solutions. Especially, the global asymptotic stability of the positive steady-state solution is investigated by the method of upper and lower solutions. The result of global asymptotic stability implies that the system has no nonconstant positive steady-state solution.

New delay-dependent global asymptotic stability criteria of delayed Hopfield neural networks

In this paper, the global asymptotic stability of Hopfield neural networks (HNNs) with delays is investigated by utilizing Lyapunov functional method and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Distinct difference from other analytical approaches lies in “linearization” of the neural network model, by which the considered neural network model is transformed into a linear time-variant system. Then, a process, which is called parameterized first-order model transformation, is used to transform the linear system. Novel criteria for global asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point of delayed HNNs are obtained. The results are related to the size of delays. The obtained results are less conservative and restrictive than those established in the earlier references. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our proposed method.     

Sharp conditions for global stability of Lotka-Volterra systems with distributed delays

We give a criterion for the global attractivity of a positive equilibrium of n-dimensional non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems with distributed delays. For a class of autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems, we show that such a criterion is sharp, in the sense that it provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability independently of the choice of the delay functions. The global attractivity of positive equilibria is established by imposing a diagonal dominance of the instantaneous negative feedback terms, and relies on auxiliary results showing the boundedness of all positive solutions. The paper improves and generalizes known results in the literature, namely by considering systems with distributed delays rather than discrete delays.

Stability analysis of a class of nonlinear positive switched systems with delays

This paper addresses the stability problem of delayed nonlinear positive switched systems whose subsystems are all positive. Both discrete-time systems and continuous-time systems are studied. In our analysis, the delays in systems can be unbounded. Two conditions are established to test the local asymptotic stability of the considered systems. The method to compute the domains of attraction is also proposed provided that the system is locally asymptotically stable. When reduced to general nonlinear positive systems, that is, the considered switched system consists of only one mode, an interesting conclusion follows that the proposed nonlinear positive system is locally asymptotically stable for all admissible delays and nonnegative nonlinearities which satisfy an extra condition at the origin, if and only if the system represented by the linear part is asymptotically stable for all admissible delays. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the obtained results.

Delay-dependent global asymptotic stability criteria for stochastic genetic regulatory networks with Markovian jumping parameters

This paper investigates the delay-dependent global asymptotic stability problem of stochastic genetic regulatory networks (SGRNs) with Markovian jumping parameters. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and stochastic analysis approach, a delay-dependent sufficient condition is obtained in the linear matrix inequality (LMI) form such that delayed SGRNs are globally asymptotically stable in the mean square. Distinct difference from other analytical approaches lies in “linearization” of the genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) model, by which the considered GRN model is transformed into a linear system. Then, a process, which is called parameterized first-order model transformation is used to transform the linear system. Novel criteria for global asymptotic stability of the SGRNs with constant delays are obtained. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Global asymptotic stability of Lotka-Volterra 3-species reaction-diffusion systems with time delays

This paper is concerned with three 3-species time-delayed Lotka-Volterra reaction-diffusion systems and their corresponding ordinary differential systems without diffusion. The time delays may be discrete or continuous, and the boundary conditions for the reaction-diffusion systems are of Neumann type. The goal of the paper is to obtain some simple and easily verifiable conditions for the existence and global asymptotic stability of a positive steady-state solution for each of the three model problems. These conditions involve only the reaction rate constants and are independent of the diffusion effect and time delays. The result of global asymptotic stability implies that each of the three model systems coexists, is permanent, and the trivial and all semitrivial solutions are unstable. Our approach to the problem is based on the method of upper and lower solutions for a more general reaction-diffusion system which gives a common framework for the 3-species model problems. Some global stability results for the 2-species competition and prey-predator reaction-diffusion systems are included in the discussion.

Global asymptotic stability of positive equilibrium of three-species Lotka–Volterra mutualism models with diffusion and delay effects

In the mutualism system with three species if the effects of dispersion and time delays are both taken into consideration, then the densities of the cooperating species are governed by a coupled system of reaction–diffusion equations with time delays. The aim of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the time-dependent solution in relation to a positive uniform solution of the corresponding steady-state problem in a bounded domain with Neumann boundary condition, including the existence and uniqueness of a positive steady-state solution. A simple and easily verifiable condition is given to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the positive steady-state solution. This result leads to the permanence of the mutualism system, the instability of the trivial and all forms of semitrivial solutions, and the nonexistence of nonuniform steady-state solution. The condition for the global asymptotic stability is independent of diffusion and time-delays as well as the net birth rate of species, and the conclusions for the reaction–diffusion system are directly applicable to the corresponding ordinary differential system and 2-species cooperating reaction–diffusion systems. Our approach to the problem is based on inequality skill and the method of upper and lower solutions for a more general reaction–diffusion system. Finally, the numerical simulation is given to illustrate our results.
