Boundedness and Lyapunov Function for a Nonlinear System of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Dynamics
Abstract
We investigate a system of nonlinear differential equations with distributed delays, arising from a model of hematopoietic stem cell dynamics. We state uniqueness of a global solution under a classical Lipschitz condition. Sufficient conditions for the global stability of the population are obtained, through the analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the trivial steady state and using a Lyapunov function. Finally, we give sufficient conditions for the unbounded proliferation of a given cell generation.
