DYNAMICS OF A NONLINEAR NON-AUTONOMOUS n-PATCHES PREDATOR-PREY DISPERSION-DELAY MODEL

In this paper, a nonlinear nonautonomous predator-prey dispersion model with continuous distributed delay is studied, where all parameters are time-dependent. In this system consisting of n-patches the prey species can disperse among n-patches, but the predator species is confined to one patch and cannot disperse. It is proved that the system is uniformly persistent under any dispersion rate effect. Furthermore~ some sufficient conditions are established for the existence of a unique almost periodic solution of the system. The example shows that the criteria in the paper are new, general and easily verifiable.

The Lotka-Volterra Competition System with Discrete and Distributed Time Delays

In this paper, the Lotka-Volterra competition system with discrete and distributed time delays is considered. By analyzing the characteristic equation of the linearized system, the local asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is investigated. Moreover, we discover the delays don＇t effect the stability of the equilibrium in the delay system. Finally, we can conclude that the positive equilibrium is global asymptotically stable in the delay system.

ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTION OF TWO－SPECIES PATCHTYPE NONAUTONOMOUS DIFFUSIVE LOTKA－VOLTERRA COMPETITIVE MODELS

In this paper, we consider two-species n-patch almost periodic competitive systemswith diffusion, where one species can diffuse between any two of n patches, but the otheris confined to one of the patches and cannot diffuse. We prove that the systems can have aunique positive almost periodic solution, which is globally uniformly asymptotically stableunder some appropriate conditions. In particular, if the system is a periodic system of period ω, it can have a positive globally uniformly asymptotically stable periodic solution ofperiod ω, which is a generalization of Theorem 4 in paper [6].

Study of two-nutrient and two-micro-organism chemostat model with pulsed input in a polluted environment

In this paper, a model of Beddington-DeAngelies chemostat involving two species of micro-organism competing for two perfectly complementary growth-limiting nutrients and pulsed input of toxicant in the polluted environment was studied. Using Floquet theory and small amplitude perturbation method, a conclusion was that there exists twomicro-organism eradication periodic solution and which is global asymptotical stability. At the same time, the condition of the permanence for system was obtained. From the biological point of view, the method for protecting species is to improve the amount of impulsive period, and control the amount of toxicant input to the chemostat. Finally, our results are illustrated by numerical simulations.

Robust H_(∞) Control of Switched Nonlinear Systems Under Sampled Data

This paper investigates the globally asymptotically stable and L_(2)-gain of robust H_(∞)control for switched nonlinear systems under sampled data.By considering the relationship between the sampling period and the dwell time,the non-switching and one switching are discussed in the sampling interval,respectively.Firstly,a state feedback sampled-data controller is constructed by the back-stepping method,and the switching converts to asynchronous switching if it happens within the sampling interval.Then,under the limiting conditions of the sampling period,which are obtained by the average dwell time method,the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable and has L_(2)-gain.Finally,two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Dynamical analysis for delayed virus infection models with cell-to-cell transmission and density-dependent diffusion

In this paper,certain delayed virus dynamical models with cell-to-cell infection and density-dependent diffusion are investigated.For the viral model with a single strain,we have proved the well-posedness and studied the global stabilities of equilibria by defining the basic reproductive number R_(0) and structuring proper Lyapunov functional.Moreover,we found that the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R_(0)<1,and the infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R_(0)>1.For the multi-strain model,we found that all viral strains coexist if the corresponding basic reproductive number R^(e)_(j)>1,while virus will extinct if R^(e)_(j)<1.As a result,we found that delay and the density-dependent diffusion does not influence the global stability of the model with cell-to-cell infection and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions.

An SIS Epidemic Model with Stage Structure and a Delay

A disease transmission model of SIS type with stage structure and a delay is formulated. Stability of the disease free equilibrium, and existence, uniqueness, and stability of an endemic equilibrium, are investigated for the model. The stability results arc stated in terms of a key threshold parameter. The effects of stage structure and time delay on dynamical behavior of the infectious disease are analyzed. It is shown that stage structure has no effect on the epidemic model and Hopf bifurcation can occur as the time delay increases.

Global properties within-host model for an age-structured with Crowley-Martin functional response

Based on a multi-scale view, in this paper, we study an age-structured within-host model with Crowley-Martin functional response for the control of viral infections. By means of semigroup and Lyapunov function, the global asymptotieal property of infected steady state of the model is obtained. The results show that when the basic reproductive number falls below unity, the infection dies out. However, when the basic reproductive number exceeds unity, there exists a unique positive equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable. This model can be deduced to different viral models with or without time delay.

THE VOLTERRA MODEL FOR THREE SPACIES PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEMS IN LOOPS

We consider the three species predator-prey model with the same intrinsic growth rates, where species 3 feeds on species 2, species 2 feeds on species 1, species 1 feeds on species 3. An open question raised by Nishan Krikorian is answered: We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for all the orbits to be unbounded. We also obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the positive equilibrium to be globally stable. It is shown that there exists a family of neutrally stable periodic orbits, in which we extend Darboux method to three-species models for the first time.
