Abstract
We consider a model of \( n \)-species competition in a chemostat. This model is a system of \( n+1 \) differential equations with infinite distributed delay. The system consists of one equation for the nutrient concentration dynamics and \( n \) equations for the species population dynamics. The transformation of the nutrient into viable cells does not occur instantly and requires some time, which is taken into account by the presence of a delay. Under the condition that the concentration of the input nutrient is below a certain level, Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals are constructed with the help of which estimates are obtained for all components of the solutions. The estimates characterize the extinction rates of all species in the chemostat and the rate of stabilization of the nutrient concentration to a constant concentration value.
