The problem of switching stabilization for a class of switched positive nonlinear systems (switched positive homogeneous cooperative system (SPHCS) in the continuous-time context and switched positive homogeneous order-preserving system (SPHOS) in the discrete-time context) is studied by using average dwell time (ADT) approach, where the positive subsystems are possibly all unstable. To tackle this problem, a new class of ADT switching is first defined, which is different from the previous defined ADT switching in the literature. Then, the proposed ADT is designed via analyzing the weightedl∞norm of the considered system’s state. A sufficient condition of stabilization for SPHCSs with unstable positive subsystems is derived in continuous-time context. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for SPHOSs under the assumption that all modes are possibly unstable is also obtained. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the advantages and effectiveness of our developed results.

We consider a discrete-time dynamical system generated by a nonlinear operator (with four real parameters [Formula: see text]) of ocean ecosystem. We find conditions on the parameters under which the operator is reduced to a [Formula: see text]-Volterra quadratic stochastic operator mapping two-dimensional simplex to itself. We show that if [Formula: see text], then (under some conditions on [Formula: see text]) this [Formula: see text]-Volterra operator may have up to three or a countable set of fixed points; if [Formula: see text], then the operator has up to three fixed points. Depending on the parameters, the fixed points may be attracting, repelling or saddle points. The limit behaviors of trajectories of the dynamical system are studied. It is shown that independently on values of parameters and on initial (starting) point, all trajectories converge. Thus, the operator (dynamical system) is regular. We give some biological interpretations of our results.

We consider dynamical systems on time domains that alternate between continuous time intervals and discrete time intervals. The dynamics on the continuous portions may represent species growth when there is population overlap and are governed by differential or partial differential equations. The dynamics across the discrete time intervals are governed by a chaotic map and may represent population growth which is seasonal. We study the long term dynamics of this combined system. We study various conditions on the continuous time dynamics and discrete time dynamics that produce chaos and alternatively nonchaos for the combined system. When the discrete system alone is chaotic we provide a condition on the continuous dynamical component such that the combined system behaves chaotically. We also provide a condition that ensures that if the discrete time system has an absolutely continuous invariant measure so will the combined system. An example based on the logistic continuous time and logistic discrete time component is worked out.
