Global asymptotic behavior of a multi-species stochastic chemostat model with discrete delays
We consider a model of multi-species competition in the chemostat that includes demographic stochasticity and discrete delays. We prove that for any given initial data, there exists a unique global positive solution for the stochastic delayed system. By employing the method of stochastic Lyapunov fu...

| Summary: | We consider a model of multi-species competition in the chemostat that includes demographic stochasticity and discrete delays. We prove that for any given initial data, there exists a unique global positive solution for the stochastic delayed system. By employing the method of stochastic Lyapunov functionals, we determine the asymptotic behaviors of the stochastic solution and show that although the sample path fluctuate, it remains positive and the expected time average of the distance between the stochastic solution and the equilibrium of the associated deterministic delayed chemostat model is eventually small, i.e. we obtain an analogue of the competition exclusion principle when the noise intensities are relatively small. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate our theoretical results. |
