Periodic solutions for a two-species nonautonomous competition system with diffusion and impulses

By re-estimating the upper bound of (i = 1, 2), we generalize a result about the existence of a positive periodic solution for a two-species nonautonomous patchy competition system with time delay. Based on that system, we consider the impulsive harvesting and stocking, and establish a two-species nonautonomous competition Lotka–Volterra system with diffusion and impulsive effects. With the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we obtain the existence of a positive periodic solution for such a system. At last, two examples are given to demonstrate our results.     

Improved global exponential stability for delay difference equations with impulses

In this paper, by means of constructing an impulsive delay difference inequality, we study the global exponential stability for a class of delay difference equations with impulses. A new criterion ensuring the global exponential stability of the equilibrium point is obtained, which is less restrictive and conservative than that given in the earlier reference. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantage of the obtained result.     

Existence and globally asymptotical stability of periodic solutions for two-species non-autonomous diffusion competition n-patch system with time delay and impulses

By using Mawhin continuation theorem and constructing suitable Lyapunov functional, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions ensuring the existence and global asymptotical stability of positive periodic solutions for two-species non-autonomous diffusion competition n-patch system with time delay and impulses are established. Finally, applications and an illustrative example are given. The main results generalize and improve the previously known results in Zhang and Wang (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 265:38–48, 2002), Dong et al. (Chaos Solitons Fractals 32:1916–1926, 2007).     

Oscillation for a second-order neutral differential equation with impulses

We consider a certain type of second-order neutral delay differential systems and we establish two results concerning the oscillation of solutions after the system undergoes controlled abrupt perturbations (called impulses). As a matter of fact, some particular non-impulsive cases of the system are oscillatory already. Thus, we are interested in finding adequate impulse controls under which our system remains oscillatory.     

Existence and stability of periodic solutions of high-order Hopfield neural networks with impulses and delays

By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, the global exponential stability and periodicity are investigated for a class of delayed high-order Hopfield neural networks (HHNNs) with impulses, which are new and complement previously known results. Finally, an example with numerical simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method and results. The numerical simulation shows that our models can occur in many forms of complexities including periodic oscillation and the Gui chaotic strange attractor.     

Global asymptotic stability of BAM neural networks with mixed delays and impulses

In this paper, BAM neural networks with mixed delays and impulses are considered. A new set of sufficient conditions are derived by constructing suitable Lyapunov functional with matrix theory for the global asymptotic stability of BAM neural networks with mixed delays and impulses. Moreover, an example is also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.     

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”.     

Uniform persistence for a two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey system with diffusion and variable time delays

A two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey diffusion model with variable time delays is investigated. By constructing some suitable Lyapunov functionals and utilizing some analysis techniques, we obtain the permanence of this system. Our results generalize and improve the results of [10] and [11].     

Persistence and periodic orbits for two-species nonautonomous diffusion lotka-volterra models

This paper considers a competing system in which one of two species can diffuse between two patches, while the other is confined to one patch and cannot diffuse. It is proved that the system can be made persistent under some appropriate conditions even if the competitive patch is not persistent without diffusion. Further, if the system is a periodic system, it can have a strictly positive periodic orbit which is globally asymptotically stable under the appropriate conditions.

Exponential stability of discrete-time neural networks with delay and impulses

In this paper, we investigate the exponential stability of discrete-time neural networks with impulses and time-varying delay. The discrete-time neural networks are derived by discretizing the corresponding continuous-time counterparts with different discretization methods. The impulses are classified into three classes: input disturbances, stabilizing and “neutral” type - the impulses are neither helpful for stabilizing nor destabilizing the neural networks, and then by using the excellent ideology introduced recently by Chen and Zheng [W.H. Chen, W.X. Zheng, Global exponential stability of impulsive neural networks with variable delay: an LMI approach, IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. I 56 (6) (2009) 1248-1259], the connections between the impulses and the utilized Lyapunov function are fully explored with respect to each type of impulse. Novel techniques that used to realize the ideology in discrete-time situation are proposed and it is shown that they are essentially different from the continuous-time case. Several criteria for global exponential stability of the discrete-time neural networks are established in terms of matrix inequalities and based on these theoretical results numerical simulations are given to compare the capability of different discretization methods.     

Periodicity and attractivity of a ratio-dependent Leslie system with impulses

A ratio-dependent Leslie system with impulses is studied. By using a comparison theorem, continuation theorem base on coincidence degree and constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, we establish sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence and global attractivity of periodic solution. Examples show that the obtained criteria are easily verifiable.     

Traveling waves,impulses and diffusion chaos in excitable media

In the present work it is shown, that the FitzHugh–Nagumo type system of partial differential equations with fixed parameters can have an infinite number of different stable wave solutions, traveling along the space axis with arbitrary speeds, and also traveling impulses and an infinite number of different states of spatiotemporal (diffusion) chaos. Those solutions are generated by cascades of bifurcations of cycles and singular attractors according to the FSM theory (Feigenbaum–Sharkovskii–Magnitskii) in the three-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), to which the FitzHugh–Nagumo type system of equations with self-similar change of variables can be reduced.     

Effect of diffusion on a two-species eco-epidemiological model

This paper deals with the stabilizing effect of diffusion on a prey?–?predator system where the prey population is infected by a microparasite. The predator functional response is a concave-type function. Conditions for the local as well as global stability of the model without diffusion are derived in terms of system parameters. It is also shown that an unstable equilibrium of the model without diffusion can be made stable by increasing the diffusion coefficients appropriately.     

Traveling wavefronts of a prey-predator diffusion system with stage-structure and harvesting

From a biological point of view, we consider a prey-predator-type free diffusion fishery model with stage-structure and harvesting. First, we study the stability of the nonnegative constant equilibria. In particular, the effect of harvesting on the stability of equilibria is discussed and supported with numerical simulation. Then, employing the upper and lower solution method, we show that when the wave speed is large enough there exists a traveling wavefront connecting the zero solution to the positive equilibrium of the system. Numerical simulation is also carried out to illustrate the main result.

First we give sufficient conditions to ensure existence and exponential stability of the anti-periodic solutions, which are new and complementary to previously known results. Then we present an example to demonstrate our results.     

Permanence and global stability for nonautonomous N-species Lotka-Volterra competitive system with impulses and infinite delays

In this paper, we consider a class of nonautonomous N-species Lotka-Volterra competitive systems with impulses and infinite delays. By developing the methods given in Teng (2002) [25], we give sufficient conditions for permanence and global attractivity of the system.     

Threshold dynamics for compartmental epidemic models with impulses

The basic reproductive number and its calculation for general impulsive compartmental epidemic models, with pulses on both the infected and the uninfected compartments, are established. Theoretical results show that the basic reproductive number serves as a threshold parameter: the disease dies out if the basic reproductive number is smaller than unity, and breaks out if it is larger than unity. The global dynamics of a viral dynamical model with impulsive immune response is analyzed to study how the vaccination strength and the vaccination interval affect the basic reproductive number and virus progression.     

Stability of linear neutral differential equations with delays and impulses established by the fixed points method

In this paper, we consider the impulsive effects on the stability of the zero solution of the linear neutral differential equations with variable delays. By transforming the equations into ones without impulses and using fixed point theory, some sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability and exponential stability of the zero solution are obtained. The paper extends and improves results on sufficient conditions obtained by Jin and Luo (2008) [17], and Ardjouni and Djoudi (2011) [18], which is shown clearly in Example 1. This paper also shows that the impulse intensity and the impulse time both influence the decay rate of the convergence to zero of the solutions. Finally, two examples are given to show applications of some results obtained.
