A mathematical model for the dynamics of a fish algae consumption model with impulsive control strategy

A dynamic mathematical model of fish algae consumption with an impulsive control strategy is proposed and analyzed in detail. it is shown that the system has a globally asymptotically stable algae-eradication periodic solution which can be obtained using the floquet theory of impulsive differential equations and small-amplitude perturbation techniques. the conditions for the permanence of the system can also be determined. numerical results for impulsive perturbations show the rich dynamic behavior of the system. all these results may be useful in controlling eutrophication. copyright © 2012 jin yang and min zhao.
