Dynamic behaviors of a discrete Lotka-Volterra competitive system with the effect of toxic substances and feedback controls
Advances in Difference Equations volume 2017, Article number: 112 (2017)
Abstract
By noting the fact that the intrinsic growth rate are not positive everywhere, we revisit Lotka-Volterra competitive system with the effect of toxic substances and feedback controls. The corresponding results about permanence and extinction for the species given in (Chen and Chen in Int. J. Biomath. 8(1):1550012, 2015) are extended. Furthermore, a very important fact is found in our results, that is, the feedback controls and toxic substances have no effect on the permanence and extinction of species. Moreover, we also derive sufficient conditions for the global stability of positive solutions. Finally, some numerical simulations show the feasibility of our main results.
1 Introduction
It is well known that the effect of toxic substances on ecological communities is an important problem, Maynard Smith [2] proposed a model to incorporate the effects of toxic substances in a two-species Lotka-Volterra competitive system by assuming that each of the species produces a substance that is toxic to the other only in the presence of the other species. However, the author did not analyze the model. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, Chattopadhyay [3] obtained a set of sufficient conditions which ensure the system admits a unique globally stable positive equilibrium.
Li and Chen [4] generalized the system considered in [2] and [3] to the non-autonomous case:
where \(r_{i}(t)\), \(a_{ij}(t)\), \(b_{i}(t)\), \(i, j=1, 2\) are assumed to be continuous and bounded above and below by positive constants, \(x_{1}(t)\) and \(x_{2}(t)\) are population density of species \(x_{1}\) and \(x_{2}\) at time t, respectively. By using a fluctuation lemma, Li and Chen [4] obtained sufficient conditions which ensure the second species will be driven to extinction while the first one will stabilize at a certain solution of a logistic equation. Their results indicates that toxic substances play an important role in the extinction of species.
It has been found that the discrete time models governed by difference equations are more appropriate than the continuous ones when the size of the population is rarely small or the population has non-overlapping generations [5]. Li and Chen [6] and Huo and Li [7] studied the following discrete model:
Huo and Li [7] obtained sufficient conditions which ensure the permanence and global stability of the system (1.2). Li and Chen [6] proved that one of the components will be driven to extinction while the other will be globally attractive with any positive solution of a discrete logistic equation under some conditions. Again, their results showed that toxic substances play an important role in the extinction of species.
Based on the work of Li and Chen [6], recently, Chen and Chen [1] proposed a discrete Lotka-Volterra competitive system with the effect of toxic substances and feedback controls:
where \(x_{i}(k)\) is the density of the ith species at kth generation and \(u_{i}(k)\) is control variable, \(i=1,2\); \(r_{i}(k)\), \(a_{ii}(k)\) denote the intrinsic growth rate and density-dependent coefficient of the ith species, respectively, \(i=1,2\). By \(b_{1}(k)\) and \(b_{2}(k)\) are, respectively, shown that each species produces a substance toxic to the other, but only when the other is present. By constructing a discrete Lyapunov type extinction, they found that if assumptions (H1)-(H4) in [1] and the following inequalities:
hold, then we have
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3). They also found that in addition to the conditions of Theorem 3.1 in [1], if \(r_{1}^{l}>0\), \(d_{1}^{u}>0\) and \(f_{1}^{l}>0\) still hold, then the specie \(x_{1}\) will be permanent while the species \(x_{2}\) will be driven to extinction. Their results indicate that toxic substances and feedback control variables play an important role in the dynamics of the system. However, they did not consider the permanence of the system and the global stability of positive solutions. In this paper, we extend the corresponding results given in [1] and give the permanence of the system and the global stability of positive solutions. For more work on the dynamic behaviors of the competition system with a toxic substance, one could refer to [1–17] and the references cited therein. For more work on the dynamic behaviors of the feedback control ecosystem, one could refer to [18–29] and the references cited therein.
In [1, 6, 7], the basic assumption is shared that all coefficients are nonnegative. Thus those models may be not completely realistic. If the intrinsic growth rates are not positive everywhere, we need to reconsider the model and will meet some essential difficulties. In this paper we discuss the dynamic behaviors of the competition system (1.3). In Section 2, as preliminaries, some assumptions and lemmas are introduced. In Section 3, we establish sufficient conditions on the permanence for system (1.3). In Section 4, we show the global stability of the system (1.3). In Section 5, some sufficient conditions for the extinction of the system (1.3) are obtained. In Section 6, a numerical simulation is presented to illustrate the feasibility of our main result.
2 Preliminaries
For any bounded sequence \(x(k)\), we denote \(x^{u}=\sup_{k\in Z}\{x(k)\} \), \(x^{l}=\inf_{k\in Z}\{x(k)\}\), where \(Z=\{0,1,2,3,\ldots\}\). Throughout this paper, we introduce the following assumptions.
- (H1):
-
\(r_{i}(k)\) is a bounded sequence defined on Z; \(e_{i}(k)\) is a positive bounded sequence defined on Z; \(a_{ij}(k)\), \(b_{i}(k)\), \(d_{i}(k)\) and \(f_{i}(k)\), \(i,j=1,2\) are nonnegative bounded sequences defined on Z.
- (H2):
-
Sequences \(e_{i}(k)\), \(i=1,2\) satisfy \(0< e_{i}^{l}\leq e_{i}^{u} <1\) for all \(k \in Z\).
- (H3):
-
There exist positive integers \(\lambda_{i}\) such that
$$\liminf_{k\rightarrow\infty} \sum_{s=k}^{k+\lambda _{i}-1}a_{ii}(s) \geq0, \quad i=1,2. $$ - (H4):
-
There exist positive integers \(\omega_{i}\) such that
$$\limsup_{k\rightarrow\infty} \sum_{s=k}^{k+\omega_{i}-1}r_{i}(s) \leq 0,\quad i=1,2. $$
Motivated by the biological background of system (1.3), in this paper we only consider all solutions of system (1.3) that satisfy the initial conditions \(x_{i}(0)>0\), \(u_{i}(0)>0\), \(i=1,2\). It is obvious that the solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) is positive, that is, \(x_{i}(k)>0\), \(u_{i}(k)>0\), \(i=1,2\) for all \(k\in Z\).
We consider the following non-autonomous difference inequality system:
where \(a(k)\) and \(b(k)\) are bounded sequences and \(b(k) \geq0\) for all \(k\in Z\). We get the following result.
Lemma 2.1
[28]
Assume that there exist an integer \(\lambda>0\) such that
Then there exists a constant \(M>0\) such that, for any nonnegative solution \(x(k)\) of system (2.1) with initial value \(x(k_{0})=x_{0} \geq0\), where \(k_{0}\in Z\) is some integer,
Next, we consider the following non-autonomous linear difference equation:
where \(\gamma(k)\) and \(\omega(k)\) are nonnegative bounded sequences defined on Z. We have the following results.
Lemma 2.2
[28]
Assume that there exist an integer \(\lambda>0\) such that
then there exists a constant \(M>0\) such that, for any nonnegative solution \(\nu(k)\) of system (2.2) with initial value \(\nu (k_{0})=\nu_{0} \geq 0\), where \(k_{0}\in Z\) is some integer,
Lemma 2.3
[28]
Assume that the conditions of Lemma 2.2 hold, then for any constants \(\varepsilon>0\) and \(M_{1}>0\) there exist positive constants \(\hat{\delta}=\hat{\delta}(\varepsilon)\) and \(\hat{k}=\hat{k}(\varepsilon,M_{1})\) such that, for any \(\hat{k}_{0} \in Z\) and \(0 \leq\nu_{0} \leq M_{1}\), where \(\omega(k)<\hat{\delta}\) for all \(k \geq\hat{k}_{0}\), one has
where \(\nu(k,\hat{k}_{0},\nu_{0})\) is the solution of (2.2) with initial value \(\nu(\hat{k}_{0})=\nu_{0}\).
Lemma 2.4
[29]
Assume that \(A>0\) and \(y(0)>0\). Suppose that
If \(A<1\) and B is bounded above with respect to N, then
3 Permanence
Theorem 3.1
Assume that assumptions (H1)-(H3) hold, then there exist constants \(\bar{x}_{i},\bar {u}_{i}>0\) such that
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3).
Proof
From the first and second equation of system (1.3), we have
then by assumption (H3) and applying Lemma 2.1 there exist constants \(\bar{x}_{i}>0\) such that
Hence, there exists a positive integer \(k_{1}\) such that
Thus, from the third and fourth equation of system (1.3), we obtain
By assumption (H2) we can find that there exists a positive integer ρ such that for \(i=1,2\)
It follows from Lemma 2.2 that there exist positive constants \(\bar {u}_{i}\) such that
The proof of Theorem 3.1 is completed. □
In order to obtain the permanence of system (1.3), we assume the following.
- (H5):
-
There exists a positive integer \(\omega_{i}\) such that
$$\liminf_{k\rightarrow\infty} \sum_{s=k}^{k+\omega _{i}-1} \bigl(r_{i}(s)-a_{i3-i}(s)\bar{x}_{3-i}\bigr)>0,\quad i=1,2. $$
Theorem 3.2
Suppose that (H1)-(H3) and (H5) hold, then the system of (1.3) is permanent.
Proof
From Theorem 3.1, it follows that there exist constants \(\bar{x}_{i},\bar{u}_{i}>0\) such that
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3).
Next, we can only prove that there exist constants \(\underline{x}_{i}, \underline{u}_{i}>0 \) such that
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3).
From (H5) we can choose a constant \(\varepsilon_{1}>0\) and a positive integer \(k_{2}\geq k_{1}\) such that
Consider the following auxiliary equation:
where \(\alpha_{1}\) is a positive parameter. It follows from Lemma 2.3 that for \(\varepsilon_{1}>0\) and \(\bar{u}_{1}>0\) given above there exist positive constants \(\hat{\delta}_{1}=\hat{\delta}_{1}(\varepsilon_{1})\) and \(\hat{k}_{0}=\hat{k}_{0}(\varepsilon_{1},\bar{u}_{1})\) such that, for any \(k_{0}\in Z\) and \(0\leq v_{0}\leq\bar{u}_{1}\), when \(f_{1}(k)\alpha_{1}<\hat {\delta}_{1}\) for all \(k\geq k_{0}\), we get
where \(v(k,k_{0},v_{0})\) is the solution of equation (3.6) with the initial condition \(v(k,k_{0},v_{0})=v_{0}\). By (3.5), we can find that there exists a positive constant \(\alpha_{1}\leq\min\{\varepsilon_{1},\hat{\delta}_{1}/f_{1}^{u}\}\) such that
We first prove
In fact, if this is not true, then there exists a positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3) and a positive integer \(k_{3}>0\) such that \(x_{1}(k)<\alpha_{1}\) for all \(k\geq k_{3}\). Further, from (3.2) and (3.4), we can find that there exists a positive integer \(k_{4}\geq k_{3}\) such that
Thus, the third equation of system (1.3) implies
Let \(v(k)\) be the solution of equation (3.6) with the initial value \(v(k_{4})=u_{1}(k_{4})\). It follows from the comparison theorem for the difference equation and inequality (3.11) that
In (3.7), we choose \(k_{0}=k_{4}\) and \(v_{0}=u_{1}(k_{4})\). Since \(f_{1}(k)\alpha_{1}<\hat{\delta}_{1}\) for all \(k\geq k_{4}\), we have
Further, by (3.12) we have
Therefore, \(k\geq k_{2}+k_{4}+\hat{k}_{0}\) system (1.3) and (3.8) imply
Consequently, we further obtain
where \(\bar{k}=k_{2}+k_{4}+\hat{k}_{0}\), which implies \(x_{1}(\bar{k}+n\omega_{1})\rightarrow+\infty\) as \(n\rightarrow+\infty\), which leads to a contradiction with (3.10). So (3.9) holds.
Next, we prove that there exists a positive constant \(\underline{x}_{1}\) such that
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3). Otherwise, there exists a sequence with initial values \(z^{(n)}= (\varphi_{1}^{(n)},\varphi_{2}^{(n)},\psi_{1}^{(n)},\psi _{2}^{(n)} )\) of system (1.3) such that
where \((x_{1}(k,z^{(n)}),x_{2}(k,z^{(n)}),u_{1}(k,z^{(n)}),u_{2}(k,z^{(n)}))\) is the solution of system (1.3) and satisfy \(x_{i}(k)=\varphi_{i}^{(n)}(k)\), \(u_{i}(k)=\psi_{i}^{(n)}(k)\), \(i=1,2\).
It follows from (3.9) and (3.13) that there exist two sequences of positive integers \(\{s_{q}^{(n)}\}\) and \(\{t_{q}^{(n)}\}\) such that for each \(n\in Z\)
and
such that
and
Equation (3.14) implies \(t_{q}^{(n)}-s_{q}^{(n)}\geq1\) for all \(n\geq1\). It follows from (3.2) and (3.4) that for each \(n\in Z\) there exists an integer \(k_{4}^{(n)}>k_{4} \) such that
From (3.15) we can choose an integer \(k_{1}^{(n)}\) such that \(s_{q}^{(n)}>k_{4}^{(n)}\) for all \(q\geq k_{1}^{(n)}\). For any \(k\in [s_{q}^{(n)},t_{q}^{(n)}-1]\) and \(q\geq k_{1}^{(n)}\), we get
where \(\theta=|r_{1}^{l}|+a_{11}^{u}\bar{x}_{1}+a_{12}^{u}\bar{x}_{2}+b_{1}^{u}\bar {x}_{1}\bar{x}_{2}+d_{1}^{u}\bar{u}_{1}\). Further, by (3.16)
which implies
Obviously, \(t_{q}^{(n)}-s_{q}^{(n)}\rightarrow\infty\) as \(n\rightarrow \infty\). Hence, there exists an integer \(N_{0}>0\) such that
For all \(k\in(s_{q}^{(n)},t_{q}^{(n)})\), by (3.17) and the third equation of system (1.3) we get
Let \(v(n)\) be the solution of equation (3.6) with the initial value \(v(s_{q}^{(n)}+1)=u_{1}(s_{q}^{(n)}+1)\). By applying the comparison theorem and inequality (3.18), we have
In (3.7) we set \(k_{0}=s_{q}^{(n)}+1\) and \(v_{0}=u_{1}(s_{q}^{(n)}+1)\). Since \(f_{1}(k)\alpha_{1}<\hat{\delta}_{1}\) for all \(k\in (s_{q}^{(n)},t_{q}^{(n)})\), we have
Therefore, (3.19) yields
Hence, it follows from the first equation of system (1.3) that
Further, we have
For any \(n\geq N_{0}\), \(q\geq k_{1}^{(n)}\) and \(k\in[s_{q}^{(n)}+\hat {k}_{0}+1,t_{q}^{(n)}]\), (3.8), (3.16) and (3.17) yield
which leads to a contradiction. Therefore, there exists a positive constant \(\underline{x}_{1}\) such that
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3).
Similarly, we can also find that there exists a positive constant \(\underline{x}_{2}\) such that
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k),x_{2}(k),u_{1}(k),u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3).
From (3.20) and (3.21), we find, for any \(\varepsilon >0\) sufficiently small, that there exists a positive integer \(\bar {k}_{4}\) such that
It follows from (3.22) and the last two equations of system (1.3) that for all \(q\geq\bar{k}_{4}\)
By (H1), (H2) and Lemma 2.4, we have
Letting \(\varepsilon\rightarrow0\), it follows from (3.24) that
The proof of Theorem 3.2 is completed. □
Remark 3.1
Comparing with assumptions given by Chen and Chen [1], we can see our assumptions in Theorem 3.1 are more reasonable, and our result indicate that feedback control variables and toxic substances have no influence on the permanence of system (1.3).
Corollary 3.1
If, in system (1.3), \(d_{i}(k)=e_{i}(k)=f_{i}(k)=0\) (\(i=1,2\)) for \(k\in Z\), then system (1.3) will be reduced to (1.2). Suppose that assumptions (H1), (H3) and (H5) hold, then the system (1.2) has permanence.
Remark 3.2
From Corollary 3.1, we can see that we improve the sufficient conditions which ensure the permanence of system (1.2) by Li and Chen [6] and Huo and Li [7]. We can also find that the toxic substances have no influence on the permanence of system (1.2).
4 Global stability
On the basis of permanence, further, we consider the stability of system (1.3) and obtain sufficient conditions for the global stability of system (1.3).
Theorem 4.1
In addition to the conditions of Theorem 3.2, suppose
then the system (1.3) is globally stable.
Proof
Let \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) and \((x_{1}^{*}(k), x_{2}^{*}(k), u_{1}^{*}(k), u_{2}^{*}(k))\) be any two positive solutions of system (1.3). Set
Next, we can only prove the following equations:
Since
Similarly,
where \(\theta_{i}(k)\) lies between \(x_{i}(k)\) and \(x_{i}^{*}(k)\), \(i=1, 2\).
It follows from (H6) and (H7) that there exists an \(\varepsilon >0\) such that
By Theorem 3.2, there exists a \(k_{5}\in Z\) such that
Then we have
for all \(k\geq k_{5}\).
Set \(\lambda=\max\{\lambda_{1}^{*}, \lambda_{2}^{*}, \mu_{1}^{*}, \mu_{2}^{*}\}\), (4.3) and (4.4) imply \(0<\lambda<1\).
It follows from (4.5) and (4.6) that
for all \(k\geq k_{5}\). This yields
Therefore
The proof of Theorem 4.1 is completed. □
5 Extinction
In this section, we investigate the extinction property of the species in the system (1.3).
Theorem 5.1
Suppose that assumptions (H1), (H31) and (H41) hold, then we have
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3), where \((\mathrm{H}_{31})=\{(\mathrm{H}_{3})|i=1\}\), \((\mathrm{H}_{41})=\{(\mathrm{H}_{4})|i=1\}\).
Proof
It follows from (H31) that there exist a positive constant β and a positive integer \(S_{0}\) such that
For any integer \(k\geq S_{0}\) and \(p>0\), we can find that there exists an integer \(q_{p}\geq0\) such that
Therefore, (5.2) implies
Since \(q_{p}\rightarrow\infty\) as \(p\rightarrow\infty\), there exist positive integers \(p_{0}\) and \(\lambda_{1}>0\) such that
Thus, (5.2) yields
Hence, we can find that there exist integers \(p_{0}>0\) and \(\lambda_{1}>0\) such that
Similarly, it follows from (H41) that
From (5.1) and (5.4), it follows that, for any \(\varepsilon>0\) sufficiently small, there exist a constant η and an integer \(S_{1}\geq S_{0}\) such that
Let \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) be any positive solution of system (1.3). If, for all \(\varepsilon>0\), we have \(x_{1}(k)\geq\varepsilon\) for all \(k\geq S_{1}\).
Let \(k_{0}=S_{1}\), then (5.5) and the first equation of system (1.3) imply
Further, we have
which implies \(x_{1}(k_{0}+np_{0}\omega_{1})\rightarrow0\) as \(n\rightarrow \infty\). This leads to a contradiction. Hence, there exists an integer \(k_{1}\geq k_{0}\) such that \(x_{1}(k_{1})<\varepsilon\).
Next, we prove that
Otherwise, there exists an integer \(k_{2}\geq k_{1}\) such that \(x_{1}(k)\leq \varepsilon\exp\{p_{0}\omega_{1} r_{1}^{u}\}\) for all \(k_{1}\leq k\leq k_{2}\) and
We present two cases to prove (5.6).
Case 1. If \(k_{2}-k_{1}< p_{0}\omega_{1}\), then from the first equation of system (1.3), we can obtain
which contradicts (5.7).
Case 2. If \(k_{2}-k_{1}\geq p_{0}\omega_{1}\), let \(k_{2}=k_{1}+np_{0}\omega _{1}+\sigma\), where \(n\in Z\) and \(0\leq\sigma< p_{0}\omega_{1}\), then (5.4) and the first equation of system (1.3) imply
which also leads to a contradiction with (5.7). According to the arguments of the two cases above, we find that (5.6) is true.
Letting \(\varepsilon\rightarrow0\), then (5.6) yields
Therefore, species \(x_{1}\) in the system (1.3) is extinct. The proof of Theorem 5.1 is completed. □
Theorem 5.2
Suppose that assumptions (H1), (H32) and (H42) hold, then we have
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3), where \((\mathrm{H}_{32})=\{(\mathrm{H}_{3})|i=2\}\), \((\mathrm{H}_{42})=\{(\mathrm{H}_{4})|i=2\}\).
Proof
The proof of Theorem 5.2 is similar to Theorem 5.1. So, here it is omitted. □
Corollary 5.1
From Theorem 5.1 and Theorem 5.2, we can find that if assumptions (H1), (H3) and (H4) hold, then
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k), u_{1}(k), u_{2}(k))\) of system (1.3).
If, in system (1.3), \(d_{i}(k)=e_{i}(k)=f_{i}(k)=0\) (\(i=1,2\)) for \(k\in Z\) then system (1.3) will be reduced to (1.2).
Corollary 5.2
Suppose that assumptions in Theorem 5.1 hold, then
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k))\) of system (1.2).
Suppose that assumptions in Theorem 5.2 hold, then
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k))\) of system (1.2).
Suppose that assumptions in Corollary 5.1 hold, then
for any positive solution \((x_{1}(k), x_{2}(k))\) of system (1.2).
Remark 5.1
Comparing with assumptions given in Chen and Chen [1], we can see that our assumptions in Theorem 5.2 are more reasonable. We can also find that feedback control variables and toxic substances have no influence on the extinction of system (1.3).
Remark 5.2
Comparing with assumptions given in Li and Chen [6], we can see that our assumptions in Corollary 5.2 are weaker. We can also find that toxic substances have no influence on the extinction of system (1.2).
