Delay-dependent criteria are proposed to guarantee the stability for such systems. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate that our results are less conservative than previous results.

Positive periodic solution for a nonautonomous periodic model of population with time delays and impulses

In this paper, a nonautonomous periodic model of population with time delays and impulses, which arises in order to describe the control of a single population of cells, is studied. By the coincidence degree theory we obtain the conditions for the existence of periodic solution of this system.     

Analysis of a mathematical model for tumor growth under indirect effect of inhibitors with time delay in proliferation

In this paper, a mathematical model for tumor growth with time delay in proliferation under indirect effect of inhibitor is studied. The delay represents the time taken for cells to undergo mitosis. Nonnegativity of solutions is investigated. The steady-state analysis is presented with respect to the magnitude of the delay. Existence of Hopf bifurcation is proved for some parameter values. Local and global stability of the stationary solutions are proved for other ones. The analysis of the effect of inhibitor's parameters on tumor's growth is presented. The results show that dynamical behavior of solutions of this model is similar to that of solutions for corresponding non-retarded problems for some parameter values.     

A Lotka-Volterra type food chain model with stage structure and time delays

A three-species Lotka-Volterra type food chain model with stage structure and time delays is investigated. It is assumed in the model that the individuals in each species may belong to one of two classes: the immatures and the matures, the age to maturity is presented by a time delay, and that the immature predators (immature top predators) do not have the ability to feed on prey (predator). By using some comparison arguments, we first discuss the permanence of the model. By means of an iterative technique, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are established for the global attractivity of the nonnegative equilibria of the model.

On the calculation of cumulants of estimators arising from a linear time series regression model

Bounds for higher-order cumulants of statistics arising from a linear time series regression model are investigated. A result given in Brillinger is proved and extended. The bounds permit derivation of asymptotic moments and asymptotic normality for estimators of parameters in the model. Two examples are given as illustrations.     

A quantitative study on the stability of delay discrete singular systems

For quadratic delay discrete singular systems, an algebraic criterion on the stability is established, and the size of the uniform stability region and asymptotic stability region around zero is estimated. Hence, the criterion is both qualitative and quantitative. With the computer techniques, the criterion dependent of delay is easy test and applies to the application in the practice. An illustrative simulation is given to illustrate the application of the obtained result.

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.     

A nonlinear AIDS epidemic model with screening and time delay

A nonlinear mathematical model to study the effect of time delay in the recruitment of infected persons on the transmission dynamics of HIV/AIDS is proposed and analyzed. In modeling the dynamics, the population is divided into four subclasses: the susceptibles, the HIV positives or infectives that do not know they are infected, the HIV positives that know they are infected and the AIDS patients. Susceptibles are assumed to become infected via sexual contacts with (both types of) infectives. The model is analyzed using stability theory of delay differential equations. Both the disease-free and the endemic equilibria are found and their stability is investigated. It is shown that the introduction of time delay in the model has a destabilizing effect on the system and periodic solutions can arise by Hopf bifurcation. Numerical simulations are also carried out to investigate the influence of key parameters on the spread of the disease, to support the analytical conclusion and to illustrate possible behavioral scenario of the model.     

A delay-dependent model with HIV drug resistance during therapy

The use of combination antiretroviral therapy has proven remarkably effective in controlling HIV disease progression and prolonging survival. However, the emergence of drug resistance can occur. It is necessary that we gain a greater understanding of the evolution of drug resistance. Here, we consider an HIV viral dynamical model with general form of target cell density, drug resistance and intracellular delay incorporating antiretroviral therapy. The model includes two strains: wild-type and drug-resistant. The basic reproductive ratio for each strain is obtained for the existence of steady states. Qualitative analysis of the model such as the well-posedness of the solutions and the equilibrium stability is provided. Global asymptotic stability of the disease-free and drug-resistant steady states is shown by constructing Lyapunov functions. Furthermore, sufficient conditions related to the properties of the target cell density are obtained for the local asymptotic stability of the positive steady state. Numerical simulations are conducted to study the impact of target cell density and intracellular delay focusing on the stability of the positive steady state. The occurrence of Hopf bifurcation of periodic solutions is shown to depend on the target cell density.     

A Mixed Problem for a Hyperbolic System on the Plane with Delay in the Boundary Conditions

We examine well-posedness of the boundary value problem in a half-strip for a first-order linear hyperbolic system with delay (lumped and distributed) in the boundary conditions. In the case of the negative real parts of the eigenvalues of the corresponding spectral problem we prove a time uniform estimate for a solution to the homogeneous problem which enables us to justify the linearization principle for analysis of stability of stationary solutions to the nonlinear problem.     

Global stability and wavefronts in a cooperation model with state-dependent time delay

This article deals with a diffusive cooperative model with state-dependent delay which is assumed to be an increasing function of the population density with lower and upper bounds. For the cooperative DDE system, the positivity and boundedness of solutions are firstly given. Using the comparison principle of the state-dependent delay equations obtained, the stability criterion of model is analyzed both from local and global points of view. When the diffusion is properly introduced, the existence of traveling waves is obtained by constructing a pair of upper–lower solutions and Schauder's fixed point theorem. Calculating the minimum wave speed shows that the wave is slowed down by the state-dependent delay. Finally, the traveling wavefront solutions for large wave speed are also discussed, and the fronts appear to be all monotone, regardless of the state dependent time delay. This is an interesting property, since many findings are frequently reported that delay causes a loss of monotonicity, with the front developing a prominent hump in some other delay models.     

Global asymptotic stability of stochastic reaction-diffusion neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms

In this paper, a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms is investigated. By using the Lyapunov functional method and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global asymptotic stability of an equilibrium point of the networks in the mean square. The results can be easily solved by MATLAB LMI toolbox. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and conservativeness of our theoretical results.
