Title:

Stochastic Kolmogorov Systems: Some Recent Progress

Abstract:

We present some of our recent work on stochastic Kolmogorov systems. The motivation stems from dealing with important issues of ecological and biological systems. Focusing on environmental noise, we will address such fundamental questions: “what are the minimal conditions for long-term persistence of a population, or long-term coexistence of interacting species”. The presentation will mainly be done by looking at certain examples; references on general cases will be given, however.  [The talk reports some of our joint work with  D.H. Nguyen, N.T. Dieu, N.H. Du, and N.N Nguyen.]
