Existence of periodic solutions for the Lotka-Volterra type systems

We construct stable periodic solutions for a simple form nonlinear delay differential equation (DDE) with a periodic coefficient. The equation involves one underlying nonlinearity with the multiplicative periodic coefficient. The well-known idea of reduction to interval maps is used in the case under consideration, when both the defining nonlinearity and the periodic coefficient are piece-wise constant functions. The stable periodic dynamics persist under a smoothing procedur...

In this paper, we give the definition of the random periodic solutions of random dynamical systems. We prove the existence of such periodic solutions for a $C^1$ perfect cocycle on a cylinder using a random invariant set, the Lyapunov exponents and the pullback of the cocycle.

Considering a basic enzyme-catalysed reaction, in which the rate of input of the substrate varies periodically in time, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a periodic solution of the reaction equations. The proof employs the Leray-Schauder degree, applied to an appropriately constructed homotopy.

The existence of periodic solutions in $\Gamma$-symmetric Newtonian systems $\ddot{x}=-\nabla f(x)$ can be effectively studied by means of the $(\Gamma\times O(2))$-equivariant gradient degree with values in the Euler ring $U(\Gamma\times O(2))$. In this paper, we show that in the case of $\Gamma$ being a finite group, the Euler ring $U(\Gamma\times O(2))$ and the related basic degrees are effectively computable using Euler ring homomorphisms, the Burnside ring $A(\Gamma\time...

The existence and spatio-temporal patterns of $2\pi$-periodic solutions to second order reversible equivariant autonomous systems with commensurate delays are studied using the Brouwer $O(2) \times \Gamma \times \mathbb Z_2$-equivariant degree theory. The solutions are supposed to take their values in a prescribed symmetric domain $D$, while $O(2)$ is related to the reversal symmetry combined with the autonomous form of the system. The group $\Gamma$ reflects symmetries of $D...

We investigate the structure of the set of $T$-periodic solutions to periodically perturbed coupled delay differential equations on differentiable manifolds. By using fixed point index and degree-theoretic methods we prove the existence of branches of $T$-periodic solutions to the considered equations. As main application of our methods, we study a generalized version of the sunflower equation.

Recently, various systems of nonlinear difference equations, of different forms, were studied. In this existing work, two earlier published papers, due respectively to Bayram and Das. [Appl. Math. Sci. (Ruse), 4(7) (2010) pp. 817-821] and Elsayed [Fasciculi Mathematici, 40 (2008), pp. 5-13], are revisited. The results exhibited in these previous investigations are re-examined through a new approach, more theoretical and explanative compared to the ones offered in these aforem...

In a previous paper the \textit{real} evolution of the system of ODEs \ddot{z}_{n} + z_{n}=\sum\limits_{m = 1, m \ne n}^{N} g_{nm}{(z_{n} - z_{m})} ^{- 3}, z_{n} \equiv z_{n}(t), \qquad \dot {z}_{n} \equiv \frac{d z_{n}(t)}{dt}, \qquad n = 1,...,N is discussed in C_{N}, namely the N dependent variables z_{n}, as well as the N(N - 1) (arbitrary!) ``coupling constants'' g_{nm}, are considered to be \textit{complex} numbers, while the independent variable t (``time'') is \textit...

In this paper, we study a Lotka-Volterra model which contains two prey and one predator with the Beddington-DeAngelis functional responses. First, we establish a set of sufficient conditions for existence of positive periodic solutions. Second, we investigate global asymptotic stability of boundary periodic solutions. Finally, we present some numerical examples.

This work derives sufficient conditions for the coexistence and exclusion of a stochastic competitive Lotka-Volterra model. The conditions obtained are close to the necessary conditions. In addition, convergence in distribution of positive solutions of the model is also established. A number of numerical examples are given to illustrate our results.
