Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model with the impulsive state feedback control is proposed for turbidostat system. The sufficient conditions of existence of order-1 and order-2 periodic solutions are obtained by the existence criteria of periodic solution of a general planar impulsive autonomous system. It is shown that the system either tends to a stable state or has a periodic solution, which depends on the feedback state and the initial concentration of microorganism and substrate. Finally, some discussions and numerical simulations are given.
