Existence and Uniqueness of Positive Periodic Solutions for a Delayed Predator-Prey Model with Dispersion and Impulses

Abstract

An impulsive Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey model with prey dispersal in two-patch environments and time delays is investigated, where we assume the model of patches with a barrier only as far as the prey population is concerned, whereas the predator population has no barriers between patches. By applying the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and by means of a suitable Lyapunov functional, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence, uniqueness, and global stability of positive periodic solutions of the system. Some known results subject to the underlying systems without impulses are improved and generalized. As an application, we also give two examples to illustrate the feasibility of our main results.

Non-Degeneracy and Uniqueness of Periodic Solutions for Fifth-Order Non-Linear Differential Equations

“…Existence and uniqueness, as two important properties of periodic solutions, reflect the regularity and balance of the development of things and play an important role in the modelling of practical problems such as neural networks, ecology and many other fields. [1,2] Consequently, it is of great significance to analyse the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for differential equations.…”

Non-degeneracy and Uniqueness of Periodic Solutions for a Liénard Equation with a Linear Difference Operator

“…The existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions are considered as one of the meaningful issues of differential equations with a linear difference operator. These properties play an important role in modeling various real problems such as neural networks, ecology, and other subjects [4,5]. Recently, there have been plenty of good results on the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for differential equations with a linear difference operator.…”
