Abstract

In this study, the effect of discrete time delays on the stability of a dynamical system was considered. On the implementation of the computational techniques called ODE15s, it is shown that the dynamical system is dominantly unstable. It is also observed from the results that as the discrete time delays is increased then the yeast species 2 (Candida Parapsilosis) dominates yeast species 1 (Candida Albican) which implies thatyeast species 2will drive yeast species 1into extinction.
