Attractivity in a Delayed Three—species Ratio—dependent Predator—prey System without Dominating Instantaneous Negative Feedback

A delayed three-species ratio-dependent predator-prey food-chain model without dominating in-stantaneous negative feedback is investigated. It is shown that the system is permanent under some appropriate conditions, and sufficient conditions are derived for the global attractivity of the positive equilibrium of the system.     

Random walks with short memory

A restricted random walk on ad-dimensional cubic lattice with different probabilities for forward, backward, and sideward steps is studied. The analytic solution for the generating function, exact expressions for the second and fourth moments of displacements, and diffusion and Burnett coefficients are given, as well as a systematic asymptotic expansion for the probability distribution of long walks.This paper is dedicated to Nico van Kampen.     

Interactional models for adults of two populations with maturation delays

This paper is concerned with interactional models for adults of two species delayed by their mature periods. The existence and local stability of equilibria are discussed thoroughly for competitive systems, cooperative systems and predator-prey systems, respectively. For systems with interaction of competition and cooperation, it is found that the two populations are uniformly persistent if the positive equilibrium is stable. For predator-prey interaction, however, some further conditions are needed to guarantee the persistence of the systems.     

Hurst-Kolmogorov dynamics as a result of extremal entropy production

It is demonstrated that extremization of entropy production of stochastic representations of natural systems, performed at asymptotic times (zero or infinity) results in constant derivative of entropy in logarithmic time and, in turn, in Hurst-Kolmogorov processes. The constraints used include preservation of the mean, variance and lag-1 autocovariance at the observation time step, and an inequality relationship between conditional and unconditional entropy production, which is necessary to enable physical consistency. An example with real world data illustrates the plausibility of the findings.     

Synthesis of Shape‐Persistent Macrocycles with Three 1,8‐Diazaanthracene Units and Their Packing in the Single Crystal

The synthesis of four shape‐persistent macrocycles with three 1,8‐diazaanthracene units each is reported ( 2 , 3 a – 3 c ). For two of them single crystals could be obtained and the structures in the crystal be solved. The structures reveal that macrocycle 2 self‐dimerizes in the solid state; surprisingly it also forms a stable dimer in solution. The reason for this is seen in unusually efficient dispersion interactions as a consequence of the large contact areas in the dimer. All macrocycles are assessed as to their applicability in lateral polymerizations in the single crystal as well as in solution.     

Analysis on dynamics of a population model with predator–prey-dependent functional response

We consider a reaction–diffusion population model with predator–prey-dependent functional response. Firstly, we discuss the conditions which ensure the model has a unique positive constant solution. Secondly, we investigate the dynamical properties of the model, including the large time behaviors of the nonconstant solutions and the local and the global asymptotic stability of the positive constant solution.     

Uniform persistence for a discrete predator-prey system with delays

In this paper, we deal with a discrete predator-prey model with monotonic functional responses and give a sufficient condition of uniform persistence for the system.     

SEIRS型传染病模型的全局稳定性

In this article, an infectious model with saturation effect is considered. By using compound matrix theory and a series of theorems associated to qualitative theory of differential equations which are introduced by Muldowney and Micheal Li, we study globally stable problem of the model.     

Stability and persistence of two-dimensional patterns

The canonical equations for evolution of the amplitude order parameters order parameters describing the nonlinear development and persistence of two-dimensional three-mode spatial patterns generated by Turing instability in dissipative systems are considered. The stability conditions for persistent hexagonal patterns are generalized, and the conditions under which patterns are either disrupted, exhibit bounded quasiperiodic or chaotic behavior, or decay under nonlinear evolution are derived. These conditions are applied to the specific three-mode amplitude evolution equations derived for the Schnakenberg model and a delay predator system in Chapter 3. Numerical results are presented for the persistence, disruption and decay of patterns in these systems, including fairly detailed comparisons with simulations results for the Snackenberg model.
