Under the standard assumption of <i>mass-action kinetics</i>, reaction networks give rise to general dynamical systems with polynomial right-hand side. These depend on many parameters that are difficult to estimate and can give rise to complex dynamics, including multistability, oscillations, and chaos. On the other hand, a special class of reaction systems called <i>complex-balanced systems</i> are known to exhibit remarkably stable dynamics; in particular, they have unique positive fixed points and no oscillations or chaotic dynamics. One difficulty, when trying to take advantage of the remarkable properties of complex-balanced systems, is that the set of parameters where a network satisfies complex balance may have positive codimension and therefore zero measure. To remedy this we are studying <i>disguised complex balanced systems</i> (also known as <i>disguised toric systems</i>), which may fail to be complex balanced with respect to an original reaction network <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mi>G</mi>\u0000 <annotation>$G$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>, but are actually complex balanced with respect to some other network <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <msup>\u0000 <mi>G</mi>\u0000 <mo>′</mo>\u0000 </msup>\u0000 <annotation>$G^{prime }$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>, and therefore enjoy all the stability properties of complex-balanced systems.

These delays may arise through maturation processes or as the result of complex multistep networks, and mathematical models with distributed delays are increasingly used to capture the heterogeneity present in these delayed processes. Typically, these distributed delay differential equations are simulated by discretizing the distributed delay and using existing tools for the resulting multidelay delay differential equations or by using an equivalent representation under additional assumptions on the delayed process. Here, we use the existing framework of functional continuous Runge–Kutta methods to confirm the convergence of this common approach. Our analysis formalizes the intuition that the least accurate numerical method dominates the error. We give a number of examples to illustrate the predicted convergence, derive a new class of equivalences between distributed delay and discrete delay differential equations, and give conditions for the existence of breaking points in the distributed delay differential equation. Finally, our work shows how recently reported multidelay complexity collapse arises naturally from the convergence of equations with multiple discrete delays to equations with distributed delays, offering insight into the dynamics of the Mackey–Glass equation.</p>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"154 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/sapm.70069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existence and stability of semitrivial steady states and positive ones are established via the monotonicity of principal eigenvalues with respect to parameters, priori estimates, and other techniques. Specially, for the specialist predator–prey system, the stability of positive steady states near the semitrivial steady state is proved by the bifurcation and spectral analysis, and we apply the global bifurcation theory to obtain a global bifurcation branch which connects to the positive steady state without fear effect. For the generalist predator–prey system, we establish the global stability of a unique positive steady state by constructing a spatial Lyapunov function. Compared with the case of no fear effect, the results show that antipredation strategy mainly influences the coexistence of both species, and the outcomes for specialist and generalist predators are significantly different. Under small advection rates, high antipredation level can prevent the invasion of specialist predators, while lead to the persistence of generalist predators alone.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"154 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
