GLOBAL ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY IN N-SPECIES NONAUTONOMOUS LOTKA-VOLTERRACOMPETITIVE SYSTEMS WITH DELAYS

A delayed n-species nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra type competitive system without dominating instantaneous negative feedback is investigated. By means of a suitable Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions are derived for the global asymptotic stability of the positive solutions of the system. As a corollary, it is shown 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 delays are sufficiently small.

GLOBAL ASYMPTOTICAL PROPERTIES FOR A DIFFUSED HBV INFECTION MODEL WITH CTL IMMUNE RESPONSE AND NONLINEAR INCIDENCE

This article proposes a diffused hepatitis B virus （HBV） model with CTL immune response and nonlinear incidence for the control of viral infections. By means of different Lyapunov functions, the global asymptotical properties of the viral-free equilibrium and immune-free equilibrium of the model are obtained. Global stability of the positive equilibrium of the model is also considered. The results show that the free diffusion of the virus has no effect on the global stability of such HBV infection problem with Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions.

LMI-based approach for global asymptotic stability analysis of continuous BAM neural networks

Studies on the stability of the equilibrium points of continuous bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural network have yielded many useful results. A novel neural network model called standard neural network model (SNNM) is ad- vanced. By using state affine transformation, the BAM neural networks were converted to SNNMs. Some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of continuous BAM neural networks were derived from studies on the SNNMs’ stability. These conditions were formulated as easily verifiable linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), whose conservativeness is relatively low. The approach proposed extends the known stability results, and can also be applied to other forms of recurrent neural networks (RNNs).

Global asymptotic stability for Hopfield-type neural networks with diffusion effects

The existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability for the equilibrium of Hopfield-type neural networks with diffusion effects are studied. When the activation functions are monotonously nondecreasing, differentiable, and the interconnected matrix is related to the Lyapunov diagonal stable matrix, the sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of the equilibrium of the system are obtained by applying the topological degree theory. By means of constructing the suitable average Lyapunov functions, the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium of the system is also investigated. It is shown that the equilibrium （if it exists） is globally asymptotically stable and this implies that the equilibrium of the system is unique.

New Delay-dependent Global Asymptotic Stability Condition for Hopfield Neural Networks with Time-varying Delays

This paper deals with the global asymptotic stability problem for Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays. By resorting to the integral inequality and constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a novel delay-dependent condition is established to guarantee the existence and global asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point for a given delayed Hopfield neural network. This criterion is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, which can be easily checked by utilizing the recently developed algorithms for solving LMIs. Examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the proposed condition.

Global Asymptotic Stability of a Kind of Stochastic SIRS Model

A detailed analysis was carried out on global asymptotic behavior of a kind of stochastic SIRS(susceptible-infective-removed-susceptible)model.This model has been obtained by introducing stochasticity into the original deterministic SIRS model via the technique of parameter perturbation which is standard in stochastic population modeling.By making corresponding Lyapunov function and using It formula,the condition for the solution of the model tending to the disease free equilibrium asymptotically was obtained.Under this condition,the epidemics will die out as time goes by.Based on this,almost surely exponential stability was analyzed.

Asymptotic Stability in the Large of Zero Solution of Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equation

There are many works on the asymptotic stability of second dimensional nonlinear differential equation. In particular, these results only concern with the system which includes one or two terms, whereas few works concern with system which includes more than two terms. In this paper, system which includes four nonlinear terms are studies. We obtain the global asymptotic stability of zero solution, and discard the condition which require the Liapunov function trends to infinity, and only require that the positive orbit is bounded.

Robust stabilization of uncertain nonholonomic systems with strong nonlinear drifts

This paper investigates the robust stabilization of the nonholonomic control systems with strongly non- linear uncertainties. In order to make the state scaling effective and to prevent the finite time escape phenomenon from happening, the switching control strategy based on the state measurement of the first subsystem is employed to achieve the asymptotic stabilization. The recursive integrator backstepping technique is applied to the design of the robust controller. The simulation example demonstrates the efficiency and robust features of the proposed method.

GLOBAL STABILITY OF SIRS EPIDEMIC MODELS WITH A CLASS OF NONLINEAR INCIDENCE RATES AND DISTRIBUTED DELAYS

In this article, we establish the global asymptotic stability of a disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium of an SIRS epidemic model with a class of nonlin- ear incidence rates and distributed delays. By using strict monotonicity of the incidence function and constructing a Lyapunov functional, we obtain sufficient conditions under which the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. When the nonlinear inci- dence rate is a saturated incidence rate, our result provides a new global stability condition for a small rate of immunity loss.
