Stochastic properties of solution for a chemostat model with a distributed delay and random disturbance
In this paper, stochastic properties of solution for a chemostat model with a distributed delay and random disturbance are studied, and we use distribution delay to simulate the delay in nutrient conversion. By the linear chain technique, we transform the stochastic chemostat model with weak kernel into an equivalent degenerate system which contains three equations. First, we state that this model has a unique global positive solution for any initial value, which is helpful to explore its stochastic properties. Furthermore, we prove the stochastic ultimate boundness of the solution of system. Then sufficient conditions for solution of the system tending toward the boundary equilibrium point at exponential rate are established, which means the microorganism will be extinct. Moreover, we also obtain some sufficient conditions for ergodicity of solution of this system by constructing some suitable stochastic Lyapunov functions. Finally, we provide some numerical examples to illustrate theoretical results, and some conclusions and analysis are given.
