A competition model of two organisms is considered in the un-stirred chemostat-type system in the presence of an external inhibitor. Asymptotic stability properties of the trivial and semi-trivial steady state solutions are established by spectral analysis. The stability and uniqueness of positive steady state solutions are also given by Lyapunov Schmidt procedure and perturbation technique.
Keywords: external inhibitor, spectral analysis, Chemostat, Lyapunov-Schmidt technique., uniqueness.
