The model proposed by A. H. Taylor et al. [18] is discussed, with a view to determining the global asymptotic stability of the equilibria. The system consists of two autonomous differential equations, modeling the couple Phytoplankton-Nutrient with no delay on the recycling efficiency of nutrient by bacterial decomposition. Two distinct cases, persistence and extinction of phytoplankton are considered. In each case we will state the local and then the global stability of the equilibria by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function and using the LaSalle's invariance principle. Also, in the case of extinction of phytoplankton we have introduced a supply of nutrient in the system and we have revealed the bloom of phytoplankton, which appears biologically in upwelling conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain a set of sufficient conditions for “global asymptotic stability” of the trivial solution x = 0 of the differential equation1.1using a Lyapunov function which is substantially different from similar functions used in [2], [3] and [4], for similar differential equations. The functions f1, f2 and f3 are real - valued and are smooth enough to ensure the existence of the solutions of (1.1) on [0, ∞). The dot indicates differentiation with respect to t. We are taking a and b to be some positive parameters.

The dynamical behaviors of a two-species discrete ratio-dependent predator–prey system are considered. Some sufficient conditions for the local stability of the equilibria is obtained by using the linearization method. Further, we also obtain a new sufficient condition to ensure that the positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable by using an iteration scheme and the comparison principle of difference equations, which generalizes what paper [G. Chen, Z. Teng and Z. Hu, Analysis of stability for a discrete ratio-dependent predator–prey system, Indian J. Pure Appl. Math.42(1) (2011) 1–26] has done. The method given in this paper is new and very resultful comparing with papers [H. F. Huo and W. T. Li, Existence and global stability of periodic solutions of a discrete predator–prey system with delays, Appl. Math. Comput.153 (2004) 337–351; X. Liao, S. Zhou and Y. Chen, On permanence and global stability in a general Gilpin–Ayala competition predator–prey discrete system, Appl. Math. Comput.190 (2007) 500–509] and it can also be applied to study the global asymptotic stability for general multiple species discrete population systems. At the end of this paper, we present an open question.
