Discrete infinite-dimensional type-K monotone dynamical systems and time-periodic reaction-diffusion systems

The asymptotic behavior of discrete type-K monotone dynamical systems and reaction-diffusion equations is investigated. The studying content includes the index theory for fixed points, permanence, global stability, convergence everywhere and coexistence. It is shown that the system has a globally asymptotically stable fixed point if every fixed point is locally asymptotically stable with respect to the face it belongs to and at this point the principal eigenvalue of the diagonal partial derivative about any component not belonging to the face is not one. A nice result presented is the sufficient and necessary conditions for the system to have a globally asymptotically stable positive fixed point. It can be used to establish the sufficient conditions for the system to persist uniformly and the convergent result for all orbits. Applications are made to time-periodic Lotka-Volterra systems with diffusion, and sufficient conditions for such systems to have a unique positive periodic solution attracting all positive initial value functions are given. For more general time-periodic type-K monotone reaction-diffusion systems with spatial homogeneity, a simple condition is given to guarantee the convergence of all positive solutions.     

A note on global stability of three-dimensional Ricker models

In the recent paper [E. C. Balreira, S. Elaydi, and R. Luís, J. Differ. Equ. Appl. 23 (2017), pp. 2037–2071], Balreira, Elaydi and Luís established a good criterion for competitive mappings to have a globally asymptotically stable interior fixed point by a geometric approach. This criterion can be applied to three dimensional Kolmogorov competitive mappings on a monotone region with a carrying simplex whose planar fixed points are saddles but globally asymptotically stable on their positive coordinate planes. For three dimensional Ricker models, they found mild conditions on parameters such that the criterion can be applied to. Observing that Balreira, Elaydi and Luís' discussion is still valid for the monotone region with piecewise smooth boundary, we prove in this note that the interior fixed point of three dimensional Kolmogorov competitive mappings is globally asymptotically stable if they admit a carrying simplex and three planar fixed points which are saddles but globally asymptotically stable on their positive coordinate planes. This result is much easier to apply in the application.     

New global stability conditions for a class of difference equations

In this paper we consider some classes of difference equations, including the well-known Clark model, and study the stability of their solutions. In order to do that we introduce a property, namely semicontractivity, and study relations between ‘semi-contractive’ functions and sufficient conditions for the solution of the difference equation to be globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, we establish new sufficient conditions for the solution to be globally asymptotically stable, and we improve the ‘3/2 criteria’ type stability conditions.      

Rates of decay and growth of solutions to linear stochastic differential equations with state-independent perturbations

The paper studies the almost sure asymptotic convergence to zero of solutions of perturbed linear stochastic differential equations, where the unperturbed equation has an equilibrium at zero, and all solutions of the unperturbed equation tend to zero, almost surely. The perturbation is present in the drift term, and both drift and diffusion coefficients are state‐dependent. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure convergence of solutions to the equilibrium of the unperturbed equation. In particular, a critical polynomial rate of decay of the perturbation is identified, such that solutions of equations in which the perturbation tends to zero more quickly that this rate are almost surely asymptotically stable, while solutions of equations with perturbations decaying more slowly that this critical rate are not asymptotically stable. As a result, the integrability or convergence to zero of the perturbation is not by itself sufficient to guarantee the asymptotic stability of solutions when the stochastic equation with the perturbing term is asymptotically stable. Rates of decay when the perturbation is subexponential are also studied, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential stability.     

Global stability and bifurcations of perturbed Gumowski–Mira difference equation

A generalized convergence theorem for higher order difference equations is established by quasi-Lyapunov function method. From this stability result we deduce the existence of global asymptotically stable fixed point and attractive two-periodic solution of the perturbed Gumowski–Mira difference equation. We also study global bifurcations of this system as the parameters vary. For instance we show that as the recombination coefficient moves through a critical curve, a fixed point loses its asymptotic stability and an attractive cycle of period 2 emerges near the fixed point due to a period-doubling bifurcation. The associated existence regions are also located.     

Study the stability of solutions of functional differential equations via fixed points

In this paper, we study the stability properties of solutions of a class of functional differential equations with variable delay. By using the fixed point theory under an exponentially weighted metric, we obtain some interesting sufficient conditions ensuring that the zero solution of the equations is stable and asymptotically stable.     

A sufficient condition for the global asymptotic stability of a class of logistic equations with piecewise constant delay

For a class of differential equations with piecewise constant delay, we establish sufficient conditions for the unique positive equilibrium to be globally asymptotically stable, which improves the results obtained by the contractivity method and extend the recent result on “Gopalsamy and Liu’s conjecture” to a nonautonomous case.     

Global dynamic behavior of a predator–prey model under ratio-dependent state impulsive control

This paper studies the global dynamic behavior of a prey–predator model with square root functional response under ratio-dependent state impulsive control strategy. It is shown that the boundary equilibrium point of the controlled system is globally asymptotically stable. An order-k periodic orbit is obtained by employing the Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. Furthermore, the critical values are determined for the existence of orbitally asymptotically stable order-1 and order-2 periodic orbits in finite time. These critical values play an important role in determining different kinds of order-k periodic orbits and can also be used for designing the control parameters to obtain the desirable dynamic behavior of the controlled prey–predator system. Moreover, it is found that the local equilibrium point is also globally asymptotically stable under the control strategy. Numerical examples are provided to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the theoretical results.

Global asymptotic stability of a delayed SEIRS epidemic model with saturation incidence

In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of solutions of an autonomous SEIRS epidemic model with the saturation incidence is studied. Using the method of Liapunov–LaSalle invariance principle, we obtain the disease-free equilibrium is globally stable if the basic reproduction number is not greater than one. Moreover, we show that the disease is permanent if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions of locally and globally asymptotically stable convergence to an endemic equilibrium are obtained base on the permanence.     

Convergence theorems of fixed points for asymptotically hemi-pseudocontractive mappings

In this paper, the concept of asymptotically hemi-pseudocontractive mapping in Banach space, which is a proper generalization of asymptotically pseudocontractive mapping with nonempty fixed point set as shown by an example, is introduced. Some sufficient and necessary conditions on the strong convergence of the modified Ishikawa and the modified Mann iteration sequences with mean errors for uniformly L-Lipshitzian asymptotically hemi-pseudocontractive mappings are presented.     

A system of partial differential equations modeling the competition for two complementary resources in flowing habitats

This paper examines a system of reaction-diffusion equations arising from a flowing water habitat. In this habitat, one or two microorganisms grow while consuming two growth-limiting, complementary (essential) resources. For the single population model, the existence and uniqueness of a positive steady-state solution is proved. Furthermore, the unique positive solution is globally attracting for the system with regard to nontrivial nonnegative initial values. Mathematical analysis for the two competing populations is carried out. More precisely, the long-time behavior is determined by using the monotone dynamical system theory when the semi-trivial solutions are both unstable. It is also shown that coexistence solutions exist by using the fixed point index theory when the semi-trivial solutions are both (asymptotically) stable.     

Convergence to equilibria in scalar nonquasimonotone functional differential equations

We consider a class of scalar functional differential equations generating a strongly order preserving semiflow with respect to the exponential ordering introduced by Smith and Thieme. It is shown that the boundedness of all solutions and the stability properties of an equilibrium are exactly the same as for the ordinary differential equation which is obtained by “ignoring the delays”. The result on the boundedness of the solutions, combined with a convergence theorem due to Smith and Thieme, leads to explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of all solutions starting from a dense subset of initial data. Under stronger conditions, guaranteeing that the functional differential equation is asymptotically equivalent to a scalar ordinary differential equation, a similar result is proved for the convergence of all solutions.     

Dynamics of Two Point Vortices in an External Compressible Shear Flow

This paper is concerned with a system of equations that describes the motion of two point vortices in a flow possessing constant uniform vorticity and perturbed by an acoustic wave. The system is shown to have both regular and chaotic regimes of motion. In addition, simple and chaotic attractors are found in the system. Attention is given to bifurcations of fixed points of a Poincaré map which lead to the appearance of these regimes. It is shown that, in the case where the total vortex strength changes, the “reversible pitch-fork” bifurcation is a typical scenario of emergence of asymptotically stable fixed and periodic points. As a result of this bifurcation, a saddle point, a stable and an unstable point of the same period emerge from an elliptic point of some period. By constructing and analyzing charts of dynamical regimes and bifurcation diagrams we show that a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations is a typical scenario of transition to chaos in the system under consideration.     

Global dynamics of a special class of nonlinear semelparous Leslie matrix models

ABSTRACT

This paper considers the dynamics of nonlinear semelparous Leslie matrix models. First, a class of semelparous Leslie matrix models is shown to be dynamically consistent with a certain system of Kolmogorov difference equations with cyclic symmetry. Then, the global dynamics of a special class of the latter is fully determined. Combining together, we obtain a special class of semelparous Leslie matrix models which possesses generically either a globally asymptotically stable positive equilibrium or a globally asymptotically stable cycle. The result shows that the periodic behaviour observed in periodical insects can occur as a globally stable phenomenon.

PERMANENCE,PERIODIC AND ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF NONAUTONOMOUS STAGE STRUCTURED POPULATION DYNAMICS WITH TIME DELAY AND DIFFUSION

A nonautonomous stage-structured two species model with time delay anddiffusion is considered. It is shown that the system is uniformly persistent undersome conditions. By discussing the independent subsystem, more brief sufficientconditions are drawn for a unique positive periodic solution which is globallyattractive and the existence of the positive almost periodic solution which isuniformly asymptotically stable by the Razumikhin function method.     

Stability and fixed points of point-dissipative systems

It is known that if T: X → X is completely continuous or if there exists an n₀ > 0 such that Tⁿ⁰ is completely continuous, then T point dissipative implies that there is a maximal compact invariant set which is uniformly asymptotically stable, attracts bounded sets, and has a fixed point (see Billotti and LaSalle [Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.6 1971]). The result is used, for example, in studying retarded functional differential equations, or parabolic partial differential equations. This result has been extended by Hale and Lopes [J. Differential Equations13 1973]. They get the result that if T is an α-contraction and compact dissipative then there is a maximal compact invariant set which is uniformly asymptotically stable, attracts neighborhoods of compact sets, and has a fixed point. The above result requires the stronger assumption of compact dissipative. The principal result of this paper is to get similar results under the weaker assumption of point dissipative. To do this we must make additional assumptions. We will show these assumptions are naturally satisfied by stable neutral functional differential equations and retarded functional differential equations with infinite delay. The result has applications to many other dynamical systems, of course.
