Abstract

A 3-dimensional autonomous ordinary differential equation is studied which models certain cellular biochemical reactions. Extended Poincaré-Bendixson theory is used to obtain algebraic conditions on the parameters which are sufficient for the existence of at least one stable closed trajectory. Similar conditions are also obtained for the absence of chaos and for the global convergence of solutions to a critical point.
