This article studies the asymptotic behavior of a stochastic Chemostat model with Lotka–Volterra food chain in which the dilution rate was influenced by white noise. The long-time behavior of the model is studied. Using Lyapunov function and Itô's formula, we show that there is a unique positive solution to the system. Moreover, the sufficient conditions for some population dynamical properties including the boundedness in mean and the stochastically asymptotic stability of the washout equilibrium were obtained. Furthermore, we show how the solutions spiral around the predator-free equilibrium and the positive equilibrium of deterministic system. Besides, the existence of the stationary distribution is proved for the considered model. Numerical simulations are introduced finally to support the obtained results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a simple chemostat model with inhibitory exponential substrate uptake and a time delay. A detailed qualitative analysis about existence and boundedness of its solutions and the local asymptotic stability of its equilibria are carried out. Using Lyapunov-LaSalle invariance principle, we show that the washout equilibrium is global asymptotic stability for any time delay. Using the fluctuation lemma, the sufficient condition of the global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is obtained. Numerical simulations are also performed to illustrate the results.
