Robust stabilization of competing species in the chemostat
This work addresses the problem of robust stabilization of the concentrations of two different species of living organisms, which compete for a single limiting substrate in a bioreactor. This stabilization is performed using discontinuous feedback control laws that ensure the coexistence of all species. The control laws are designed considering bounded parametric uncertainties on the kinetic rates. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
