Positive periodic solution of a general discrete non-autonomous difference system of plankton allelopathy with delays

摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate a discrete time non-autonomous difference system of plankton allelopathy with delays. By employing continuous theorem proposed by Gains and Mawhin and some new techniques, a set of verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of at least one strictly positive (componentwise) periodic solution, and as an application, we also examine some special case, showing that these conditions are similar to those of continuous differential system. It is also shown that the time delays are harmless for the existence of positive periodic solutions of system. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
