Dynamics of the Chemostat: A Bifurcation Theory Approach

By Khalid Alhumaizi and Abdelhamid Ajbar

Book Overview

Based on the authors' extensive work in this field, this book explores the use of bifurcation theory to analyze the static and dynamic behavior of the chemostat. It presents a systematic, simple, and unified mathematical framework using singularity theory and bifurcation techniques. The authors cover a variety of case studies ranging from simple microbial growth to dynamics of interacting species to dynamics with product formation. They also address the connections between the design and control of the chemostat within the framework of singularity theory.
