Abstract

Motivated by the result of invariance of regular-boundary open sets in \cite{CannarsaDaPratoFrankowska2009} and multi-stability issues in gene networks, our paper focuses on three closely related aims. First, we give a necessary local Lipschitz-like condition in order to expect invariance of open sets (for deterministic systems). Comments on optimality are provided via examples. Second, we provide a border avoidance (near-viability) counterpart of \cite{CannarsaDaPratoFrankowska2009} for controlled Brownian diffusions and piecewise deterministic switched Markov processes (PDsMP). We equally discuss to which extent Lipschitz-continuity of the driving coefficients is needed. Finally, by applying the theoretical result on PDsMP to Hasty's model of bacteriophage (\cite{hasty\_pradines\_dolnik\_collins\_00}, \cite{crudu\_debussche\_radulescu\_09}), we show the necessity of explicit modeling for the environmental cue triggering lysis.
