This paper systematically investigates the optimal harvesting of a stochastic delay competitive Lotka–Volterra model with Lévy jumps. Under some simple assumptions, the sufficient conditions for extinction and stable in the time average of each species are established. The stability in distribution of this model is proved under our assumptions. Finally, the sufficient and necessary criteria for the existence of optimal harvesting policy are established and the explicit expression of the optimal harvesting effort and the maximum of sustainable yield are also obtained. And some numerical simulations are introduced to demonstrate the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the effect of distributed time delays on dynamics of a mathematical model of gene expression. Both the weak and strong delay kernels are discussed. Sufficient conditions for the local stability of the unique equilibrium are obtained. Taking the average delay as a bifurcation parameter, we investigate the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions by using the method of multiple time scales. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to illustrate our theoretical results. It shows both subcritical and supercritical Hopf bifurcations can happen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
