Growth on two limiting essential resources in a self-cycling fermentor

A system of impulsive differential equations with state-dependent impulses is used to model the growth of a single population on two limiting essential resources in a self-cycling fermentor. Potential applications include water purification and biological waste remediation. The self-cycling fermentation process is a semi-batch process and the model is an example of a hybrid system. In this case, a well-stirred tank is partially drained, and …
