Abstract We consider a Nicholson’s equation with multiple pairs of time-varying delays and nonlinear terms given by mixed monotone functions. Sufficient conditions for the permanence, local stability and global attractivity of its positive equilibrium K are established. The main novelty here is the construction of a suitable auxiliary difference equation x n+1 = h(x n ) with h having negative Schwarzian derivative, and its application to derive the attractivity of K for a model with one or more pairs of time-dependent delays. Our criteria depend on the size of some delays, improve results in recent literature and provide answers to open problems.

We mainly investigate the global behavior to the family of higher-order nonautonomous recursive equations given byyn=(p+ryn-s)/(q+ϕn(yn-1,yn-2,…,yn-m)+yn-s),n∈ℕ0, withp≥0,r,q>0,s,m∈ℕand positive initial values, and present some sufficient conditions for the parameters and mapsϕn:(ℝ+)m→ℝ+,n∈ℕ0, under which every positive solution to the equation converges to zero or a unique positive equilibrium. Our main result in the paper extends some related results from the work of Gibbons et al. (2000), Iričanin (2007), and Stević (vol. 33, no. 12, pages 1767–1774, 2002; vol. 6, no. 3, pages 405–414, 2002; vol. 9, no. 4, pages 583–593, 2005). Besides, several examples and open problems are presented in the end.

A discrete mutualism model is studied in this paper. By using the linear approximation method, the local stability of the interior equilibrium of the system is investigated. By using the iterative method and the comparison principle of difference equations, sufficient conditions which ensure the global asymptotical stability of the interior equilibrium of the system are obtained. The conditions which ensure the local stability of the positive equilibrium is enough to ensure the global attractivity are proved.

The dynamical behaviors of a diffusive predator–prey model with Beddington–DeAngelis functional response and disease in the prey is considered in this work. By applying the comparison principle, linearized method, Lyapunov function and iterative method, we are able to achieve sufficient conditions of the permanence, the local stability and global stability of the boundary equilibria and the positive equilibrium, respectively. Our result complements and supplements some known ones.

Applying qualitative theory and Hopf bifurcation theory, we detailedly discuss the Merkin enzyme reaction system, and the sufficient conditions derived for the global stability of the unique positive equilibrium, the local stability of three equilibria and the existence of limit cycles. Meanwhile, we show that the Hopf bifurcations may occur. Using MATLAB software, we present three examples to simulate these conclusions in this paper.

A competition model between two species with a lethal inhibitor in a chemostat is analyzed. Discrete delays are used to describe the nutrient conversion process. The proved qualitative properties of the solution are positivity, boundedness. By analyzing the local stability of equilibria, it is found that the conditions for stability and instability of the boundary equilibria are similar to those in [9]. In addition, the global asymptotic behavior of the system is discussed and the sufficient conditions for the global stability of the boundary equilibria are obtained. Moreover, by numerical simulation, it is interesting to find that the positive equilibrium may be globally stable.

In this paper, we aim to investigate the influence of delay on the global attractivity of a tick population dynamics model incorporating two distinctive time-varying delays. By exploiting some differential inequality techniques and with the aid of the fluctuation lemma, we first prove the persistence and positiveness for all solutions of the addressed equation. Consequently, a delay-dependent criterion is derived to assure the global attractivity of the positive equilibrium point. And lastly, some numerical simulations are presented to verify that the obtained results improve and complement some existing ones.

This paper aims to study the asymptotic behavior of Lasota–Wazewska-type system with patch structure and multiple time-varying delays. Based on the fluctuation lemma and some differential inequality techniques, we prove that the positive equilibrium is a global attractor of the addressed system with small time delay. Finally, we provide an example to illustrate the feasibility of the theoretical results.

This paper is concerned with a computer virus model with two delays. Its dynamics are studied in terms of local stability and Hopf bifurcation. Sufficient conditions for local stability of the positive equilibrium and existence of the local Hopf bifurcation are obtained by regarding the possible combinations of the two delays as a bifurcation parameter. Furthermore, explicit formulae for determining direction of the Hopf bifurcation and stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained by using the normal form method and center manifold theory. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to support the theoretical results.

This paper is concerned with a Holling type III predator-prey system with stage structure for the prey population and two time delays. The main result is given in terms of local stability and bifurcation. By choosing the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, sufficient conditions for the local stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of periodic solutions via Hopf bifurcation with respect to both delays are obtained. In particular, explicit formulas that can determine the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are established by using the normal form method and center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are also included.
