Existence and global attractivity of positive periodic solution for a Volterra model with mutual interference and Beddington-DeAngelis functional response (Q628960)

The authors investigate a predator-prey model with positive p-periodic coefficients and with a Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The aim is to prove the existence of a positive p-periodic, globally attractive solution. Defining appropriate operators in some Banach space, they use degree theory for Fredholm operators of index zero to show, under certain conditions, the existence and also the uniqueness of such a periodic solution. The authors thus obtain results that improve those of a recent paper by K. Wang and Y. L. Zhu.
