Impulsive control of multiple Lotka-Volterra systems (Q1940737)

An \(n\)-dimensional system of Lotka-Volterra linear autonomous differential equations is considered. First, the concepts of impulsive control, equilibrium points, asymptotic impulsive stability and asymptotic impulsive stabilizability are recalled and discussed in detail. Next, pure algebraic sufficient conditions for asymptotic impulsive stabilizability are formulated and proved by using the Lyapunov function method. Moreover, the definition and application the of so-called impulsive control are discussed. Finally, two simple numerical examples, which explain theoretical considerations, are presented. It should be pointed out that similar problems were considered in the paper [\textit{X. Liu} and \textit{A. Willms}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 187, No. 1, 17--39 (1994; Zbl 0814.34010)].
