Practical coexistence in the chemostat with arbitrarily close growth functionsArticle

Authors: Alain Rapaport ; Denis Dochain ; Jérôme Harmand

    We show that the coexistence of different species in competition for a common resource may be substantially long when their growth functions are arbitrarily closed. The transient behavior is analyzed in terms of slow-fast dynamics. We prove that non-dominant species can first increase before decreasing, depending on their initial proportions.
