Persistence and extinction of a stochastic non-autonomous Gilpin–Ayala system driven by Lévy noise

In this paper, we consider the persistence and extinction of a stochastic non-autonomous Gilpin–Ayala system driven by Lévy noise. Sufficient criteria for extinction, non-persistence in the mean and weak persistence of the system are established. The threshold between weak persistence and extinction is obtained. From the results we can see that both persistence and extinction have close relationships with Lévy noise. Some simulation figures are introduced to demonstrate the analytical findings.     

Extinction and persistence of a stochastic Gilpin–Ayala model under regime switching on patches

The present study is designed to examine the effect of environmental noises in the asymptotic properties of a stochastic Gilpin–Ayala model on patches under regime switching. The Gilpin–Ayala parameter is also allowed to switch. Sufficient conditions for extinction and persistence of species are established.     

Stability analysis of a stochastic Gilpin–Ayala model driven by Lévy noise

A stochastic one-dimensional Gilpin–Ayala model driven by Lévy noise is presented in this paper. Firstly, we show that this model has a unique global positive solution under certain conditions. Then sufficient conditions for the almost sure exponential stability and moment exponential stability of the trivial solution are established. Results show that the jump noise can make the trivial solution stable under some conditions. Numerical example is introduced to illustrate the results.

Asymptotic behavior of a Lotka–Volterra food chain stochastic model in the Chemostat

This article studies the asymptotic behavior of a stochastic Chemostat model with Lotka–Volterra food chain in which the dilution rate was influenced by white noise. The long-time behavior of the model is studied. Using Lyapunov function and Itô's formula, we show that there is a unique positive solution to the system. Moreover, the sufficient conditions for some population dynamical properties including the boundedness in mean and the stochastically asymptotic stability of the washout equilibrium were obtained. Furthermore, we show how the solutions spiral around the predator-free equilibrium and the positive equilibrium of deterministic system. Besides, the existence of the stationary distribution is proved for the considered model. Numerical simulations are introduced finally to support the obtained results.     

Asymptotic behavior of the reaction–diffusion model of plankton allelopathy with nonlocal delays

In this paper, we consider a reaction–diffusion model of plankton allelopathy with nonlocal delays. Using an iterative technique, the global stability of the positive steady state and the semi-trivial steady states of the system is investigated under some weaker conditions than those assumed in Tian et al. [C.R. Tian, L. Zhang and Z. Ling, The stability of a diffusion model of plankton allelopathy with atio-temporal delays, Nonlinear Anal. RWA 10 (2009) 2036–2046]. We also show that toxic substances and nonlocal delays are harmless for the stability of the positive steady state. Finally, some examples are presented to verify our main results.     

Asymptotic behavior of non-autonomous Lamé systems with subcritical and critical mixed nonlinearities

This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of non-autonomous Lamé systems modeling the physical phenomenon of isotropic elasticity. The main feature of this model is that the nonlinearity can be decomposed into a subcritical part and a critical one. We first show that the system generates a non-autonomous dynamical system, and then prove that the system has a minimal universe pullback attractor. The upper-semicontinuity of these pullback attractors is also established as the perturbation parameter of the external force tends to zero. The quasi-stability ideas developed by Chueshov and Lasiecka (2010, 2008, 2015) are used to prove the pullback asymptotic compactness of the solutions in order to overcome the difficulty caused by the critical growthness of the nonlinearity.     

The spatial behavior of a competition–diffusion–advection system with strong competition

We study a competition–diffusion–advection system for two competitive species inhabiting a spatially heterogeneous environment. We show that they spatially segregate as the interspecific competition rate tends to infinity. Besides, by using a blow up method, we obtain the uniform Hölder bounds for solutions of the system.     

Asymptotic behavior of the Landau—Lifshitz model of ferromagnetism

According to the classical theory of Weiss, Landau, and Lifshitz, on a microscopic scale a ferromagnetic body is magnetically saturated (i.e., |M| =: constant) and consists of regions in which the magnetization is uniform, separated by thin transition layers. Any stationary configuration corresponds to a minimum point of an energy functional in which a small parameter is present. The asymptotic behavior as 0 is studied here. It is easy to see that any sequence of minimizers contains a subsequenceM _j that converges to a fieldM. By means of a -limit procedure it is shown that this fieldM is a minimizer of a new functional containing a term proportional to the area of the surfaces separating different domains of uniform magnetization. TheC ^1, -regularity of these surfaces, for < 1/2, is also proved under suitable assumptions for the external magnetic field.     

Asymptotic behavior of reaction–advection–diffusion population models with Allee effect

In this work, a qualitative analysis is carried out for reaction–advection–diffusion (RAD) systems modeling the interactions between two species with Allee effect. In particular, we study different scenarios: mutualism, competition, and a predator–prey relationship in order to investigate the survival or extinction of both populations. Global existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of the proposed RAD problems are demonstrated. Equilibrium states and asymptotic behavior of solutions are obtained using the monotone method and the upper and lower solutions technique. Numerical simulations by a Crank–Nicolson monotone iterative method of the different asymptotic solution dynamics are shown to illustrate our theoretical results.     

Spatial segregation limit of a non-autonomous competition–diffusion system

This paper is concerned with the spatial behavior of the non-autonomous competition–diffusion system arising in population ecology. The limiting profile of the system is given as the competition rate tends to infinity. Our result shows that two competing species spatially segregate as the competition rates become large. Moreover, for the case of the same non-autonomous terms, we obtain the uniform convergence result.     

Asymptotic behavior of equilibrium states of reaction–diffusion systems with mass conservation

We deal with a stationary problem of a reaction–diffusion system with a conservation law under the Neumann boundary condition. It is shown that the stationary problem turns to be the Euler–Lagrange equation of an energy functional with a mass constraint. When the domain is the finite interval $(0,1)$, we investigate the asymptotic profile of a strictly monotone minimizer of the energy as d, the ratio of the diffusion coefficient of the system, tends to zero. In view of a logarithmic function in the leading term of the potential, we get to a scaling parameter κ satisfying the relation $\epsilon :=\sqrt{d}=\sqrt{\log ?\kappa }/{\kappa }^2$. The main result shows that a sequence of minimizers converges to a Dirac mass multiplied by the total mass and that by a scaling with κ the asymptotic profile exhibits a parabola in the nonvanishing region. We also prove the existence of an unstable monotone solution when the mass is small.     

Dynamical behavior of a delayed diffusive predator–prey model with competition and type III functional response

In this paper, a delayed diffusive predator–prey model with competition and type III functional response is investigated. By using inequality analytical technique, some sufficient conditions which ensure the permanence of the model have been derived. By Lyapunov functional method, a series of sufficient conditions which assure the global asymptotic stability of the system are established. The paper ends with some numerical simulations that illustrate our analytical predictions.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to Euler–Poisson equations for bipolar hydrodynamic model of semiconductors

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem for 1-D Euler–Poisson system, which represents a physically relevant hydrodynamic model but also a challenging case for a bipolar semiconductor device by considering two different pressure functions and a non-flat doping profile. Different from the previous studies (Gasser et al., 2003 [7], Huang et al., 2011 [12], Huang et al., 2012 [13]) for the case with two identical pressure functions and zero doping profile, we realize that the asymptotic profiles of this more physical model are their corresponding stationary waves (steady-state solutions) rather than the diffusion waves. Furthermore, we prove that, when the flow is fully subsonic, by means of a technical energy method with some new development, the smooth solutions of the system are unique, exist globally and time-algebraically converge to the corresponding stationary solutions. The optimal algebraic convergence rates are obtained.     

Bifurcation of Lotka–Volterra competition model with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we discuss the bifurcation of semi-trivial solutions for the Lotka–Volterra competition model with nonlinear boundary conditions over a smooth bounded domain. Applying the Crandall–Rabinowitz local bifurcation theorem Crandall and Rabinowitz (1971) we prove the existence of a smooth curve bifurcating from the appropriate semi-trivial branch.     

Asymptotic behavior and stability switch for a mature–immature model of cell differentiation

We consider a nonlinear age-structured model, inspired by hematopoiesis modelling, describing the dynamics of a cell population divided into mature and immature cells. Immature cells, that can be either proliferating or non-proliferating, differentiate in mature cells, that in turn control the immature cell population through a negative feedback. We reduce the system to two delay differential equations, and we investigate the asymptotic stability of the trivial and the positive steady states. By constructing a Lyapunov function, the trivial steady state is proven to be globally asymptotically stable when it is the only equilibrium of the system. The asymptotic stability of the positive steady state is related to a delay-dependent characteristic equation. Existence of a Hopf bifurcation and stability switch for the positive steady state is established. Numerical simulations illustrate the stability results.
