The dynamical model is nonlinear. Its equilibrium points are computed and conditions are provided under which a unique locally stable positive equilibrium exists. Moreover, effect of internal time delays on local stability is also investigated.EnglishCholesterol biosynthesisControl theoryDelay equationsDynamical systemsMathematical modelingArticle10.1016/j.ifacol.2016.07.539
