Functional differential equations with infinite delay in Banach spaces.
The exponential stability property of an evolutionary process is characterized in terms of the existence of some functionals on certain function spaces. Thus are generalized some well-known results obtained by Datko, Rolewicz, Littman and Van Neerven.
In this paper, we shall give sufficient conditions for the ultimate boundedness of solutions for some system of third order non-linear ordinary differential equations of the form where , , , are real -vectors with , and continuous in their respective arguments. We do not necessarily require that and are differentiable. Using the basic tools of a complete Lyapunov Function, earlier results are generalized.
In practice, one is not only interested in the qualitative characterizations provided by the Lyapunov stability, but also in quantitative information concerning the system behavior, including estimates of trajectory bounds, possibly over finite time intervals. This type of information has been ascertained in the past in a systematic manner using the concept of practical stability. In the present paper, we give a new definition of generalized practical stability (abbreviated as GP-stability) and...
This paper is concerned with an SIR model with periodic incidence rate and saturated treatment function. Under proper conditions, we employ a novel argument to establish a criterion on the global exponential stability of positive periodic solutions for this model. The result obtained improves and supplements existing ones. We also use numerical simulations to illustrate our theoretical results.
In this paper, we investigate the problem of stability of linear time-varying singular systems, which are transferable into a standard canonical form. Sufficient conditions on exponential stability and practical exponential stability of solutions of linear perturbed singular systems are obtained based on generalized Gronwall inequalities and Lyapunov techniques. Moreover, we study the problem of stability and stabilization for some classes of singular systems. Finally, we present a numerical example...
Coral reefs can undergo relatively rapid changes in the dominant biota, a phenomenon referred to as phase shift. Degradation of coral reefs is often associated with changes in community structure towards a macroalgae-dominated reef ecosystem due to the reduction in herbivory caused by overfishing. We investigate the coral-macroalgal phase shift due to the effects of harvesting of herbivorous reef fish by means of a continuous time model in the food chain. Conditions for local asymptotic stability...
