Study of chemostat models

Participants : Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff [Departement of Mathematics - LSU] .

We provided a study of chemostat models in which two or more species compete for two or more limiting nutrients. First we considered the case where the nutrient flow and species removal rates and input nutrient concentrations are all given positive constants. In that case, we used Brouwer fixed point theory to give conditions guaranteeing that the models admit globally asymptotically stable componentwise positive equilibrium points. For cases where the dilution rate and input nutrient concentrations can be selected as controls, we used Lyapunov methods to prove that many different possible componentwise positive equilibria can be made globally asymptotically stable. We demonstrated our methods in simulations [23] .
