A stability analysis of a time-varying chemostat with pointwise delay.

This paper revisits a recently introduced chemostat model of one-species with a periodic input of a single nutrient which is described by a system of delay differential equations. Previous results provided sufficient conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution for arbitrarily small delays. This paper partially extends these results by proving-with the construction of Lyapunov-like functions-that the evoked periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable when considering Monod uptake functions and a particular family of nutrient inputs.
