Abstract

In this paper, by using the theory of calculus on time scales and some mathematical methods, several nabla dynamic inequalities on time scales are established. As an application, we apply the obtained results to a logistic integrodifferential equation on time scales and sufficient conditions for the permanence of the equation are derived. Finally, numerical examples together with their simulations are presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the results.

1 Introduction

The theory of calculus on time scales, which has recently received a lot of attention, was introduced by Stefan Hilger in his Ph.D. thesis in 1988 [1] in order to unify continuous and discrete analysis. The time scales approach not only unifies differential and difference equations, but also solves some other problems such as a mix of stop-start and continuous behaviors powerfully. For example, it can model insect populations that are continuous while in season (and may follow a difference scheme with variable step-size), die out in winter, while their eggs are incubating or dormant, and then hatch in a new season, giving rise to a nonoverlapping population. The study of population dynamic systems on time scales can reveal new qualitative phenomenon, see, for example, [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].

It is well known that permanence (or persistence) is an important property of dynamical systems and of the systems arising in ecology, epidemics etc, since permanence addresses the limits of growth for some or all components of a system, while persistence also deals with the long-term survival of some or all components of the system. To keep the biology’s variety of the nature, the permanence of biotic population is a significant and comprehensive problem in biomathematics. In the last decade, permanence of different types of continuous or discrete population dynamic systems in ecology have been studied wildly both in theories and applications, see [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] and the references therein.

On the other hand, the growth rate of a natural species population will often not respond immediately to changes in its own population or that of an interacting species, but rather will do so after a time lag. Research has shown that time delays have a great destabilizing influence on species populations. The dependence of the rate of change of current population on the population at a particular point of past time is usually a simplified assumption, and a more reasonable dependence would be on the whole historical information of the population. A distributed delay has been proposed to describe the population growth of some species, which can date back to the works of Volterra [17, 18, 19]. Up to now, literature has focused on permanence of ecosystems on time scales, see [20, 21]. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are few papers studying the permanence of ecosystem with distributed delays on time scales.

Motivated by the above statements, in the present paper we focus our attention on the following logistic integrodifferential equation on time scales:

x(t)=x(t)[r(t)a(t)x(t)b(t)t0+kα(s)x(ts)s],tT (1)

where 𝕋 is a time scale, t0 ∈ 𝕋; r(t), a(t), b(t) are continuous, positive and bounded functions; kα : [t0, + ∞)𝕋 → [0, +∞) is piecewise continuous and integrable on [t0, +∞)𝕋 for each α∈ (0, +∞), and t0+∞ kα(s) ∇ s = 1.

The initial conditions of (1) are of the form

x(s)=φ(s)>0,s(,t0]T,φ(t0)>0, (2)

where φ is bounded and continuous on (−∞, t0]𝕋.

In this paper, we further study some dynamic inequalities on time scales by using the theory of calculus on time scales and some mathematical methods. Then, based on the obtained results, we shall study the permanence of equation (1).

For convenience, we introduce the notation

fu=suptT{f(t)},fl=inftT{f(t)},

where f is a positive and bounded function.

2 Nabla inequalities

Let 𝕋 be a nonempty closed subset (time scale) of ℝ. The forward jump operator σ : 𝕋 → 𝕋 is defined by σ(t) = inf{s ∈ 𝕋 : s > t} for all t ∈ 𝕋, while the backward jump operator ρ : 𝕋 → 𝕋 is defined by ρ(t) = sup{s ∈ 𝕋 : s < t} for all t ∈ 𝕋.

A point t ∈ 𝕋 is called left-dense if t > inf 𝕋 and ρ(t) = t, left-scattered if ρ(t) < t, right-dense if t < sup 𝕋 and σ(t) = t, and right-scattered if σ(t) > t. If 𝕋 has a left-scattered maximum m, then 𝕋k = 𝕋 \ {m}; otherwise 𝕋k = 𝕋. If 𝕋 has a right-scattered minimum m, then 𝕋k = 𝕋 \ {m}; otherwise 𝕋k = 𝕋. The backwards graininess function ν : 𝕋k → [0, +∞) is defined by ν(t) = tρ(t).

A function f : 𝕋 → ℝ is ld-continuous provided it is continuous at left-dense point in 𝕋 and its right-side limits exist at right-dense points in 𝕋.

For the basic theory of calculus on time scales, see [22].

A function p : 𝕋 → ℝ is called ν-regressive if 1 − ν(t)p(t) ≠ 0 for all t ∈ 𝕋k. The set of all ν-regressive and ld-continuous functions p : 𝕋 → ℝ will be denoted by 𝓡ν = 𝓡ν(𝕋, ℝ). Define the set Rν+=Rν+ (𝕋, ℝ) = {p ∈ 𝓡ν : 1 − ν(t)p(t) > 0, ∀ t ∈ 𝕋}.

If p ∈ 𝓡ν, then the nabla exponential function êp is defined by

e^p(t,s)=exp{stξ^ν(τ)(p(τ))τ},s,tT

with the ν-cylinder transformation

ξ^h(z)=Log(1hz)h,ifh0,z,ifh=0.

Let p, q ∈ 𝓡ν, define

pνq=p+qνpq,νp=p1νp.

Lemma 2.1

(see [22]). If p, q ∈ 𝓡ν, and s, t, r ∈ 𝕋, then

  1. ê0 (t, s) ≡ 1 and êp(t, t) ≡ 1;

  2. êp(ρ(t), s) = (1 − ν(t)p(t))êp(t, s);

  3. êp(t, s) = 1e^p(s,t) = êνp(s, t);

  4. êp(t, s)êp(s, r) = êp(t, r);

  5. (êp(t, s)) = p(t)êp(t, s).

Lemma 2.2

If p ∈ 𝓡ν, and a, b, c ∈ 𝕋, then

[e^p(c,)]=p[e^p(c,)]ρ

and

abp(t)e^p(c,ρ(t))t=e^p(c,a)e^p(c,b).

Proof

By Lemma 2.1,

p(t)e^p(c,ρ(t))=p(t)e^νp(ρ(t),c)=p(t)[1ν(t)(νp)(t)]e^νp(t,c)=p(t)[1ν(t)(νp)(t)]e^νp(t,c)=p(t)[1+ν(t)p(t)1ν(t)p(t)]e^νp(t,c)=p(t)11ν(t)p(t)e^νp(t,c)=(νp)(t)e^νp(t,c)=e^νp(t,c)=[e^p(c,t)],

where ∇ denotes differentiation with respect to t. Thus

abp(t)e^p(c,ρ(t))t=ab[e^p(c,t)]t=e^p(c,a)e^p(c,b).

This completes the proof.□

Lemma 2.3

Assume that a > 0, b > 0. Then

y(t)()bay(t),y(t)>0,t[t0,+)T

implies

y(t)()ba[1+(ay(t0)b1)e^(a)(t,t0)],t[t0,+)T.

Proof

We only prove the “≥“ case, the proof of the “≤“ case is similar. For

[ye^ν(a)(,t0)](t)=y(t)e^ν(a)(ρ(t),t0)+y(t)(ν(a))e^ν(a)(t,t0)=y(t)e^ν(a)(ρ(t),t0)+y(t)(ν(a))1ν(t)(ν(a))e^ν(a)(ρ(t),t0)=[y(t)(ν(ν(a)))y(t)]e^ν(a)(ρ(t),t0)=[y(t)(a)y(t)]e^ν(a)(ρ(t),t0),

then, integrate both side from t0 to t to conclude

y(t)e^ν(a)(t,t0)y(t0)=t0t[y(s)(a)y(s)]e^ν(a)(ρ(s),t0)st0tbe^ν(a)(ρ(s),t0)s=bt0te^(a)(t0,ρ(s))s,

that is

y(t)y(t0)e^(a)(t,t0)+bt0te^(a)(t,ρ(s))s.

So,

y(t)y(t0)e^(a)(t,t0)+bt0te^(a)(t,ρ(s))s=y(t0)e^(a)(t,t0)bat0te^(a)(t,ρ(s))(a)s(byLemma2.2)=y(t0)e^(a)(t,t0)ba[e^(a)(t,t0)1]=e^(a)(t,t0)[y(t0)ba]+ba,

i.e. y(t)ba[1+(ay(t0)b1)e^(a)(t,t0)]. This completes the proof.□

Lemma 2.4

Assume that a > 0, b > 0 anda Rν+ . Then

y(t)()bay(ρ(t)),y(t)>0,t[t0,+)T

implies

y(t)()ba[1+(ay(t0)b1)e^νa(t,t0)],t[t0,+)T.

Proof

We only prove the “≥“ case, the proof of the “≤“ case is similar. For

[ye^a(,t0)](t)=y(t)e^a(t,t0)+ae^a(t,t0)y(ρ(t))=e^a(t,t0)[y(t)+ay(ρ(t))],

then, integrate both side from t0 to t to conclude

y(t)e^a(t,t0)y(t0)=t0te^a(s,t0)[y(s)+ay(ρ(s))]sbt0te^a(s,t0)s,

then

y(t)e^νa(t,t0)y(t0)+bt0te^νa(t,s)s=e^νa(t,t0)y(t0)+bt0t(1ν(s)a)e^a(s,t)11ν(s)as=e^νa(t,t0)y(t0)+bt0te^a(ρ(s),t)11ν(s)as=e^νa(t,t0)y(t0)+bt0te^νa(t,ρ(s))11ν(s)as=e^νa(t,t0)y(t0)bat0te^νa(t,ρ(s))(νa)s(byLemma2.2)=e^νa(t,t0)y(t0)ba(e^νa(t,t0)1)=e^νa(t,t0)[y(t0)ba]+ba,

i.e. y(t)ba[1+(ay(t0)b1)e^νa(t,t0)]. This completes the proof.□

Lemma 2.5

Assume that a > 0, b > 0. Then

y(t)()y(ρ(t))(bay(t)),y(t)>0,t[t0,+)T

implies

y(t)()ba[1+(bay(t0)1)e^(b)(t,t0)]1,t[t0,+)T.

Proof

We only prove the “≤“ case, the proof of the “≥“ case is similar.

Let y(t)=1x(t), then

(1x(t))1x(ρ(t))(bax(t)),

that is

x(t)x(t)x(ρ(t))1x(ρ(t))(bax(t)),

so, x(t) ≥ abx(t). By Lemma 2.2, we have

x(t)ab[1+(bx(t0)a1)e^(b)(t,t0)].

Therefore,

y(t)ba[1+(bay(t0)1)e^(b)(t,t0)]1.

This completes the proof.□

Lemma 2.6

Assume that a > 0, b > 0 andb Rν+ . Then

y(t)()y(t)(bay(ρ(t))),y(t)>0,t[t0,+)T

implies

y(t)()ba[1+(bay(t0)1)e^νb(t,t0)],t[t0,+)T.

Proof

We only prove the “≤“ case, the proof of the “≥“ case is similar.

Let y(t)=1x(t), then

(1x(t))1x(t)(bax(ρ(t))),

that is

x(t)x(t)x(ρ(t))1x(t)(bax(ρ(t))),

so, x(t) ≥ abx(ρ(t)). By Lemma 2.3, we have

x(t)ab[1+(bx(t0)a1)e^νb(t,t0)].

Therefore,

y(t)ba[1+(bay(t0)1)e^νb(t,t0)]1.

This completes the proof.□

Theorem 2.7

Assume that a > 0, b > 0, −b Rν+, and y(t) > 0, t ∈ [t0,+ ∞)𝕋.

  1. If y(t) ≥ y(t)(bay(t)), then lim inft+y(t)=ba.

  2. If y(t) ≤ y(t)(bay(t)), then lim supt+y(t)=ba.

Proof

We only need to prove (i), the proof of (ii) is similar.

If y(ρ(t)) ≥ y(t), t ∈ [t0,+ ∞)𝕋, then

y(t)y(t)(bay(t))y(t)(bay(ρ(t))),

by Lemma 2.6, we can get

y(t)ba[1+(bay(t0)1)e^νb(t,t0)],t[t0,+)T. (3)

If y(ρ(t)) ≤ y(t), t ∈ [t0,+ ∞)𝕋, then

y(t)y(t)(bay(t))y(ρ(t))(bay(t)),

by Lemma 2.5, we can get

y(t)ba[1+(bay(t0)1)e^(b)(t,t0)]1,t[t0,+)T. (4)

It follows from (3) and (4) that

lim inft+y(t)=ba.

This completes the proof. □

Theorem 2.8

Assume that y(t) > 0, t ∈𝕋. Let t ∈ 𝕋k, if y(t) is differentiable at t, then

y(t)y(t)[ln(y(t))].

Proof

Let t ∈ 𝕋k, if y(t) is differentiable at t, then

y(ρ(t))=y(t)ν(t)y(t).

Since y(t) > 0, t ∈𝕋, we have y(t)−ν(t)y(t) > 0, t ∈ 𝕋k.

Now, we consider [ln(y(t))], t ∈𝕋k.

Case I. If ν(t) = 0, then [ln(y(t))]=y(t)y(t).

Case II. If ν(t) > 0, by the Chain Rule,

[ln(y(t))]=(01dτy(t)τν(t)y(t))y(t)=1ν(t)y(t)y(t)y(t)ν(t)y(t)dssy(t)=1ν(t)ln(y(t)ν(t)y(t)y(t)).

By using the inequality x ≥ ln(1+x), ∀ x > −1, we have

y(t)y(t)=1ν(t)(y(t)ν(t)y(t)y(t)1)1ν(t)ln(y(t)ν(t)y(t)y(t))=[ln(y(t))].

This completes the proof. □

Remark 2.9

If the time scale 𝕋 is unbounded above, then 𝕋 = 𝕋k; therefore, in Theorem 2.8, if sup 𝕋 = + ∞, then

y(t)y(t)[ln(y(t))],tT.

3 Permanence

As an application, based on the results obtained in section 2, we shall establish a permanent result for equation (1).

Definition 3.1

Equation (1) is said to be permanent if there exist a compact region D⊆ Intℝ+, such that for any positive solution x(t) of equation (1) with initial condition (2) eventually enters and remains in region D.

Hereafter, we assume that

(H1) t0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss<+.

Proposition 3.2

Assume that x(t) is any positive solution of equation (1) with initial condition (2). Then

lim supt+x(t)=M1:=rual.

Proof

By the positivity of x(t) and (1), we have

x(t)=x(t)[r(t)a(t)x(t)b(t)t0+kα(s)x(ts)s]x(t)[r(t)a(t)x(t)]x(t)[rualx(t)]. (5)

By Theorem 2.7, we get

lim supt+x(t)=rual:=M1.

This completes the proof. □

Proposition 3.3

Assume that x(t) is any positive solution of equation (1) with initial condition (2). If (H1) holds, then

lim inft+x(t)=m1:=rlau+but0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss.

Proof

Assume that x(t) is any positive solution of equation (1) with initial condition (2). From Proposition 3.2, for arbitrarily small positive constant ε, there exists a T1 ∈ 𝕋, T1 > t0 such that

x(t)<M1+ε,t[T1,+)T. (6)

By the positivity of x(t) and (1), we have for t ∈ [T1,+ ∞)𝕋,

x(t)x(t)[rlaux(t)but0+kα(s)x(ts)s]x(t)[rlaux(t)but0tT1kα(s)x(ts)sbutT1+kα(s)x(ts)s], (7)

which together with (6) implies

x(t)>x(t)[rlau(M1+ε)but0tT1kα(s)(M1+ε)sbutT1+kα(s)x(ts)s],t[T1,+)T. (8)

Let ξ(t) be defined by

ξ(t)=rlau(M1+ε)but0tT1kα(s)(M1+ε)sbutT1+kα(s)x(ts)s. (9)

Then, by the boundedness of x(t) and the property of the kernel kα(s),

limt+ξ(t)=rl(au+bu)(M1+ε), (10)

and also from (8),

x(t)>ξ(t)x(t),t[T1,+)T.

By Theorem 2.8 and Remark 2.9,

(lnx(t))x(t)x(t)>ξ(t),t[T1,+)T. (11)

Integrating (11) on [ts, t]𝕋, ts ∈ [T1,+ ∞)𝕋, we derive

x(t)>x(ts)etstξ(r)r,

which leads to

x(ts)<x(t)etstξ(r)r. (12)

It follows from (7) and (12) that

x(t)>x(t)[rl(au+but0tT1kα(s)etstξ(r)rs)x(t)butT1+kα(s)x(ts)s]. (13)

Noting that,

limt+butT1+kα(s)x(ts)s=0,

for the above ε > 0, there exists a T2 ∈ 𝕋, T2 > T1 large enough such that

butT1+kα(s)x(ts)s<ε, (14)

also from (9) and (10), we have

rl(au+bu)(M1+ε)ε<ξ(t)<rl(au+bu)(M1+ε)+ε,t[T2,+)T. (15)

By (15), for t ∈ [T2,+ ∞)𝕋,

but0tT1kα(s)etstξ(r)rs<but0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)(M1+ε)ε]ss. (16)

From (13)-(16), we derive that, for t ∈ [T2,+ ∞)𝕋,

x(t)>x(t)[rl(au+but0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)(M1+ε)ε]ss)x(t)]. (17)

Let ε → 0, then

x(t)x(t)[rl(au+but0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss)x(t)]. (18)

By Theorem 2.7,

lim inft+x(t)=rlau+but0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss:=m1. (19)

This completes the proof. □

Together with Propositions 3.2 and 3.3, we can obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 3.4

Assume that (H1) holds, then equation (1) is permanent.

4 Examples and simulations

In this section, we illustrate the calculation of the asymptotic upper and lower estimates M1 and m1 under some fixed time scales. The simulations are based on the technique of converting the scalar integrodifferential equations into a system of ordinary differential (difference) equations and then numerically solving them using Matlab and its built in graphical output routine.

Case I. 𝕋 = ℝ. Choose the following two kernels

kα(1)(s)=αeαs;kα(2)(s)=α2seαs.

Example 4.1

Consider the following equation

dx(t)dt=x(t)[(2+sinπ2t)x(t)(2cosπt)0+αeαsx(ts)ds], (20)

then M1=rual=3. Let α = 12.1, we get

0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss=0+12.1e12.1se11sds=11<+,

that is, (H1) holds. Furthermore, we have

m1=rlau+bu0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss=0.0294.

This integrodifferential equation satisfies the assumptions of Theorem 3.4 and can be converted into a system of ordinary differential equations by the introduction of an auxiliary variable y, where

y(t)=0+αeαsx(ts)ds=αteα(ts)x(s)ds.

The scalar integrodifferential equation (20) becomes

dx(t)dt=x(t)[(2+sinπ2t)x(t)(2cosπt)y(t)],dy(t)dt=α[y(t)x(t)]. (21)

The convergence of solutions of (20) corresponding to α = 10 and three initial values are displayed in Figure 1.

Graphs of the solution x(t) of (21) with α = 10 and the initial values (x(0),y(0)) = {(0.1, 0.1),(1, 1),(2, 2)}.
Fig. 1

Graphs of the solution x(t) of (21) with α = 10 and the initial values (x(0),y(0)) = {(0.1, 0.1),(1, 1),(2, 2)}.

Example 4.2

Consider the following equation

dx(t)dt=x(t)[1(2sint)x(t)0+α2seαsx(ts)ds], (22)

then M1=rual=1. Let α = 4, we get

0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss=0+16se4se3sds=16<+,

that is, (H1) holds. Furthermore, we have

m1=rlau+bu0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss=0.0526.

This integrodifferential equation satisfies the assumptions of Theorem 3.4 and can be converted into a system of ordinary differential equations by the introduction of two auxiliary variables y and z, where

y(t)=0+α2seαsx(ts)ds=α2t(ts)eα(ts)x(s)ds,z(t)=0+αeαsx(ts)ds=αteα(ts)x(s)ds.

The scalar integrodifferential equation (22) becomes

dx(t)dt=x(t)[1(2sint)x(t)y(t)],dy(t)dt=α[z(t)y(t)],dz(t)dt=α[x(t)z(t)]. (23)

The convergence of solutions of (22) corresponding to α = 4 and three initial values are displayed in Figure 2.

Fig. 2 
Graphs of the solution x(t) of (23) with α = 4 and the initial values (x(0),y(0),z(0)) = {(0.1, 0.1, 0.1),(1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2)}.
Fig. 2

Graphs of the solution x(t) of (23) with α = 4 and the initial values (x(0),y(0),z(0)) = {(0.1, 0.1, 0.1),(1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2)}.

Case II. 𝕋 = ℤ. Choose the following kernel

kα(3)(s)=(eα1)eαs.

Example 4.3

Consider the following equation

x(t)=x(t)[(10.2sint)0.5x(t)0.1s=1+(eα1)eαsx(ts)], (24)

whereis the backward difference operator, then M1=rual=2.4. Let α = 0.7, we get

0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss=(e0.71)s=1+e0.7se0.64s=16.3941<+,

that is, (H1) holds. Furthermore, we have

m1=rlau+bu0+kα(s)e[rl(au+bu)M1]ss=0.3739.

The convergence of solutions of (24) corresponding to α = 0.7 and three initial values are displayed in Figure 3.
