چکیده
A model of competition for two complementary nutrients between plasmid-bearing and plasmid-free organisms in a chemostat is proposed. A rigorous mathematical analysis of the global asymptotic behavior of the model is presented. The work extends the model of competition for a single-limited nutrient studied by Stephanopoulos and Lapidus [Chem. Engng. Sci. 443 (1988) 49] and Hsu, Waltman and Wolkowicz [J. Math. Biol. 32 (1994) 731]. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Inc. AMS: 92A15; 92A17; 34C15; 34C35

The effects of two levels of mixing on endemic infection levels are shown to differ for identically conformed deterministic compartmental (DC) and stochastic compartmental (SC) models. Both DC and SC models give similar endemic levels when populations are large, immunity is short lived, and mixing is universal. But local transmissions and/or transient immunity decrease overall population infect...

We study a class of size-structured, ODE models of growth in the chemostat, that take into account cell maintenance and substrate dependent cell mortality. Unlike most classical chemostat models, they are supposed to be non-conservative, in the sense that they do not verify the mass conservation principle. However, using a change of time scale, we are able to obtain qualitative results. Then, u...

Mathematical models can help predict the effectiveness of control measures on the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) by reducing the uncertainty in assessing the impact of intervention strategies such as random screening and contact tracing. Even though contact tracing is one of the most effective methods used for controlling treatable STDs, it is still a controversial...

The global asymptotic behavior of solutions of the variable yield model is determined. The model generalizes the classical Monod model and it assumes that the yield is an increasing function of the nutrient concentration. In contrast to the Monod model, it is demonstrated that the variable yield model exhibits sustained oscillations. Moreover, it is shown that the variable yield model may under...

While biological controls have been successfully and frequently implemented by nature and human, plausible mathematical models are yet to be found to explain the often observed deterministic extinctions of both pest and control agent in such processes. In this paper we study a three trophic level food chain model with ratio-dependent Michaelis–Menten type functional responses. We shall show tha...
