Global asymptotic behaviour for a Nicholson model with patch structure and multiple delays

For a Nicholson’s blowflies model with patch structure and multiple discrete delays, we study some aspects of its global dynamics. Conditions for the absolute global asymptotic stability of both the trivial equilibrium and a positive equilibrium (when it exists) are given. The existence of positive heteroclinic solutions connecting the two equilibria is also addressed. We further consider a diffusive Nicholson-type model with patch structure, and establish a criterion for the existence of positive travelling wave solutions, for large wave speeds. Several applications illustrate the results, improving some criteria in the recent literature.

Analysis of stochastic Nicholson-type delay system with patch structure

This paper is devoted an investigation of a stochastic Nicholson-type delay system with patch structure, which includes the models of marine protected areas and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia dynamics all affected by some stochastic perturbation. Firstly, we prove that the system has a unique global positive solution by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Then we show that the system is ultimately bounded in probability and the average in time of the second moment of solution is bounded. Furthermore, we give asymptotic pathwise estimation of the solution under some conditions. Finally, numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results. Our results improve and generalize previous related results.     

Analysis of a stochastic recovery-relapse epidemic model with periodic parameters and media coverage

This paper addresses, motivated by mathematical work on infectious disease models, the impacts of environmental noise and media coverage on the dynamics of recovery-relapse infectious diseases. A susceptible-infectious-recovered-infectious model is formulated with both vertical transmission and horizontal transmission. The existence and uniqueness of the positive global solution is studied by constructing suitable Lyapunov-type function. Then, the existence of positive periodic solutions is verified by applying Khasminskii"s theory. The existence of positive periodic solutions indicates the continued survival of the diseases. Besides, sufficient conditions for the extinction of the diseases are obtained. Numerical simulations then demonstrate the dynamics of the solutions. The paper extends the results of the corresponding deterministic system.     

Global dynamics of a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with Crowley-Martin functional responses

In this paper, we study a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with Crowley-Martin functional responses. We show the existence of a bounded positive invariant and attracting set. The possibility of existence and uniqueness of positive equilibrium are considered. The asymptotic behavior of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf-bifurcation of nonconstant periodic solutions surrounding the interior equilibrium are considered. The existence and non-existence of periodic solutions are established under suitable conditions. The permanence conditions are also established. We obtained sufficient conditions to ensure the global stability of the unique positive equilibrium, by using suitable Lyapunov functions, LaSalle invariance principle and Dulac’s criterion. We obtained also sufficient conditions for the global stability of the prey-extinction equilibrium when the unique positive equilibrium is not feasible. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analytical results.

As applications, some special models are studied; our new results improve and generalize former results.

Dynamics of a class of non-autonomous systems of two non-interacting preys with common predator

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of the mathematical model of two non-interacting preys in presence of their common natural enemy (predator) based on the non-autonomous differential equations. We establish sufficient conditions for the permanence, extinction and global stability in the general non-autonomous case. In the periodic case, by means of the continuation theorem in coincidence degree theory, we establish a set of sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive periodic solutions with strictly positive components. Also, we give some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the positive periodic solution.

We first prove a local existence result by the regularization method. Next, we construct a weak comparison principle. Then we discuss the large time behavior of solutions by using a modified upper and lower solution methods and constructing various upper and lower solutions. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the global existence of all positive (weak) solutions are obtained.     

Stability of the numerical solution of the periodic reaction- diffusion systems

In this paper we study the behavior of the numerical solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems, with periodic in time nonlinear term, obtained via the known θ-method. In particular we are interested to the existence and asymptotic stability of the numerical periodic solutions in order to simulate the behaviour of the theoretical solution. To this end, by imposing the positivity of the numerical scheme, we can use some results about M-matrices.So, by means of particular over and upper solutions, we study some conditions for the stability and instability of the trivial solution.Finally we show when a positive numerical periodic solution exists and when it is unique and asymptotically stable.

New results of existence and stability of periodic solution for a delay multispecies Logarithmic population model

In this Letter, for a general class of delayed periodic multispecies Logarithmic population model, we prove some new results on the existence of positive periodic solutions by contraction principle. The global exponential stability of positive periodic solutions is discussed further, and conditions for exponential convergence are given. The conditions we obtained are weaker than the previously known ones and can be easily reduced to several special cases.     

Dynamical behaviors of a prey-predator system with impulsive control

In this paper, we study dynamics of a prey-predator system under the impulsive control. Sufficient conditions of the existence and the stability of semi-trivial periodic solutions are obtained by using the analogue of the Poincaré criterion. It is shown that the positive periodic solution bifurcates from the semi-trivial periodic solution through a transcritical bifurcation. A strategy of impulsive state feedback control is suggested to ensure the persistence of two species. Furthermore, a steady positive period-2 solution bifurcates from the positive periodic solution by the flip bifurcation, and the chaotic solution is generated via a cascade of flip bifurcations. Numerical simulations are also illustrated which agree well with our theoretical analysis.     

The Mackey–Glass model of respiratory dynamics: Review and new results

Since the celebrated Mackey–Glass model of respiratory dynamics was introduced in 1977, many results on its qualitative behavior have been obtained, including oscillation, stability and chaos. The paper reviews some known properties and presents new results for more general models: equations with time-dependent parameters, several delays, a positive periodic equilibrium and distributed delays. The problems considered in the paper involve existence, positivity and permanence of solutions, oscillation and global asymptotic stability. In addition, some general approaches to the study of nonlinear nonautonomous scalar delay equations are outlined. The paper generalizes and unifies existing results and provides an outlook on further studies.     

Asymptotic stability of reaction-diffusion systems in chemical reactor and combustion theory

Some coupled reaction-diffusion systems arising from chemical diffusion processes and combustion theory are analyzed. This analysis includes the existence and uniqueness of positive time-dependent solutions, upper and lower bounds of the solution, asymptotic behavior and invariant sets, and the stability of steady-state solutions, including an estimate of the stability region. Explicit conditions for the asymptotic behavior and the stability of a steady-state solution are given. These conditions establish some interrelationship among the physical parameters of the diffusion medium, the reaction mechanism, the initial function and the type of boundary condition. Under the same set of physical parameters and reaction function, a comparison between the Neumann type and Dirichlet or third type boundary condition exhibits quite different asymptotic behavior of the solution. For the general nonhomogeneous system, multiple steady-state solutions may exist and only local stability results are obtained. However, for certain models it is possible to obtain global stability of a steady-state solution by either increasing the diffusion coefficients or decreasing the size of the diffusion medium. This fact is demonstrated by a one-dimensional tubular reactor model commonly discussed in the literature.
