A remark on the global asymptotic stability of a dynamical system modeling two species competition (Q1336505): Difference between revisions

We consider a strongly order preserving semiflow modeling the two-species competition in population biology. We motivate the principal result by three examples of competitive dynamical systems in an infinite dimensional space which is a product space. The first example is the model of the unstirred chemostat with equal diffusions, the second example is the classical Lotka-Volterra two-species competition model with diffusions and Dirichlet boundary conditions, and the third example is the two-species delayed chemostat model. Our principal result is the following: Let \(E_ 0= (0,0)\), \(\widehat{E}= (\widehat{u},0)\) and \(\widetilde {E}=(0, \widetilde{v})\) be the rest points in the Banach space \(C^ +_ 1\times C^ +_ 2\). If \(E_ 0\) and \(\widetilde{E}\) are repellers with respect to \({\overset {\circ} C}^ +_ 1\times {\overset {\circ} C}^ +_ 2\) and \(\widehat{E}\) is a local attractor, then \(E\) is a global attractor of \({\overset {\circ} C}^ +_ 1\times {\overset {\circ} C}^ +_ 2\) provided there are no rest points in \({\overset {\circ} C}^ +_ 1\times {\overset {\circ} C}^ +_ 2\).
