Stability Conditions of the MMAP [ K ]/ G [ K ]/1/ LCFS Preemptive Repeat Queue

In this paper, we study the stability conditions of the MMAP[K]/G[K]/1/LCFS preemptive repeat queue. We introduce an embedded Markov chain of matrix M/G/1 type with a tree structure and identify conditions for the Markov chain to be ergodic. First, we present three conventional methods for the stability problem of the queueing system of interest. These methods are either computationally demanding or do not provide accurate information for system stability. Then we introduce a novel approach that develops two linear programs whose solutions provide sufficient conditions for stability or instability of the queueing system. The new approach is numerically efficient. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods introduced in this paper are analyzed both theoretically and numerically.     

EXACT CONTROLLABILITY FOR FIRST ORDER QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS WITH ZERO EIGENVALUES＊＊＊

For a class of mixed initial-boundary value problem for general quasilinear hyperbolic sys-tems with zero eigenvalues, the authors establish the local exact controllability with boundary controls acting on one end or on two ends and internai controls acting on a part of equations in the system.     

GLOBAL ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY IN N-SPECIES NONAUTONOMOUS LOTKA-VOLTERRACOMPETITIVE SYSTEMS WITH DELAYS

A delayed n-species nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra type competitive system without dominating instantaneous negative feedback is investigated. By means of a suitable Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions are derived for the global asymptotic stability of the positive solutions of the system. As a corollary, it is shown 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 delays are sufficiently small.

IMPULSIVE CONTROL OF A FISHERY SYSTEM

This paper uses the method of linear approximation for impulsive systems and gets a theorem which guarantees a fishery modei to be asymptotically stable at its equilibrium point and gives the ecological explanation.     

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF PLANAR SYSTEM WITH SIX DELAYS

In this paper we obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of non-constant periodic solutions of the following planar system with six delaysOur approach is based on the continuation theorem of the coincidence degree.     

Periodic Solution of a Nonautonomous Diffusive Food Chain System of Three Species with Time Delays

Abstract By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory,the existence of a positive periodicsolution for a nonautonomous diffusive food chain system of three species. dx_1(t)/dt=x_1(t)[r_1(t)-a_(11)(t)x_1(t)-a_(12)(t)x_2(t)]+D_1(t)[y(t)-x_1(t)], dx_2(t)/dt=x_2(t)[-r_2(t)+a_(21)(t)x_1(t-r_1)-a_(22)(t)x_2(t)-a_(23)(t)x_3(t)], dx_3(t)/dt=x_3(t)[-r_3(t)+a_(32)(t)x_2(t-r_2)-a_(33)(t)x_3(t)], dy(t)/dt=y(t)[r_4(t)-a_(44)(t)y(t)]+D_2(t)[x_1(t)-y(t)]+D_2(t)[x_1(t)-y(t)],is established,where,r_i(t),a_(ii)(t)(i=1,2,3,4),D_i(t)(i=1,2),a_(12)(t),a_(21)(t),a_(23)(t)and a_(32)(t) are all positiveperiodic continuous functions with period w>0,T_i(i=1,2)are positive constants.     

Asymptotic stability of relaxation shock profiles for hyperbolic conservation laws

This paper studies the asymptotic stability of traveling relaxation shock profiles for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. Under a stability condition of subcharacteristic type the large time relaxation dynamics on the level of shocks is shown to be determined by the equilibrium conservation laws. The proof is due to the energy principle, using the weighted norms, the interaction of waves from various modes is treated by imposing suitable weight matrix.
