We consider time-periodic competitive systems of ordinary differential equations of Kolmogorov type. However, compared with standard assumptions, we relax the regularity of the time-dependent per-capita growth rates by imposing much weaker…
Certain dynamical models of competition have a unique invariant hypersurface to whichevery nonzero tractory is asymptotic, having simple geometry and topology.
We consider dissipative strongly competitive systems $\dot{x}_{i}=x_{i}f_{i}(x)$ of ordinary differential equations. It is known that for a wide class of such systems there exists an invariant attracting hypersurface $\Sigma$, called the…
In this paper we study the permanence and impermanence for continuous-time competitive Kolmogorov systems via the carrying simplex. We first give an extension to attractors of V. Hutson's results on the existence of repellors in…
There is a recent development in the carrying simplex theory for competitive maps: under some weaker conditions a map has a modified carrying simplex (one of the author's latest publications). In this paper, as one of the applications of…
We study the permanence and impermanence for discrete-time Kolmogorov systems admitting a carrying simplex. Sufficient conditions to guarantee permanence and impermanence are provided based on the existence of a carrying simplex.…
A folklore result due to M.W. Hirsch states that most competitive maps admit a carrying simplex, i.e., an invariant hypersurface which attracts all nontrivial orbits. The common approach in the study of these maps is to focus on the…
For a class of competitive maps there is an invariant one-codimensional manifold (the carrying simplex) attracting all non-trivial orbits. In the present paper it is shown that its convexity implies that it is a $C^1$…
It is known that the competitive exclusion principle holds for a large kind of models involving several species competing for a single resource in an homogeneous environment. Various works indicate that the coexistence is possible in an…
We consider $N$-species nonautonomous competitive systems of partial differential equations of Kolmogorov type. Under the Neumann boundary conditions we give a sufficient condition for the system to be uniformly stable and globally…
We propose new results for the existence and uniqueness of a general nonparametric and nonseparable competitive equilibrium with substitutes. These results ensure the invertibility of a general competitive system. The existing literature…
Let $T$ be a competitive map on a rectangular region $\mathcal{R}\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, and assume $T$ is $C^1$ in a neighborhood of a fixed point $\bar{\rm x}\in \mathcal{R}$. The main results of this paper give conditions on $T$ that…
Let $T$ be a $C^{1}$ competitive map on a rectangular region $R\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$. The main results of this paper give conditions which guarantee the existence of an invariant curve $C$, which is the graph of a continuous increasing…
In this paper, we study abstract dynamical systems with discrete phase spaces. One example of such a system is induced by the $3 x{+}1$-map on the set of all natural numbers, also known as the Collatz map. Our main focus is on dynamical…
For a continuously differentiable Kolmogorov map defined from the nonnegative orthant to itself, a type-K competitive system is defined. Under the assumptions that the system is dissipative and the origin is a repeller, the global dynamics…
This paper studies a two microbial species model in competition for a single resource in the chemostat including general interspecific density-dependent growth rates with distinct removal rates for each species. We give the necessary and…
In this article, we study the global dynamics of a discrete two dimensional competition model. We give sufficient conditions on the persistence of one species and the existence of local asymptotically stable interior period-2 orbit for this…
We give an new proof of the well-known competitive exclusion principle in the chemostat model with $n$ species competing for a single resource, for any set of increasing growth functions. The proof is constructed by induction on the number…

The classical chemostat is an intensely investigated model in ecology and bio/chemical engineering, where n-species, say $x_{1}, x_{2}...x_{n}$ compete for a single growth limiting nutrient. Classical theory predicts that depending on model…
