Abstract

We consider a general food-chain system subject to uncertain disturbances. A Liapunov design methodology is used to establish control growth policies of qualitative nature aimed to restrict the fluctuations of the size of the chain elements (populations, consumers, resources), hence to facilitate transition from growth (decay) to manageable population levels.
