Singular perturbation of a single species model with time-delay

Said Achchab

Abstract


The aim of this work is to extend approximate aggregation methods for ordinary differential equations to delayed differential equations (DDEs). Approximate aggregation consists of describing the dynamics of a general system involving many coupled variables by means of the dynamics of a reduced system with a few global variables. A delayed two-stage population model in a multi-patch environment is considered. The existence of two different time scales is assumed: the migration process takes place on the behavioral level of, and is thus much faster than the population dynamics. This is the case for some aquatic population for example.
We study afterwards the asymptotic behavior of aggregated model, and prove that it has a globally asymptotically stable steady state. We define the total carrying capacity K time-delay dependent, we show that there exists an optimal time delay that maximizes the total population. Finally, we prove under certain assumptions that initial models are of the monotone type.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
