The permanence and global attractivity of Lotka--Volterra competition system with feedback controls (Q2490082)

The author studies the following Lotka-Volterra type competitive system with feedback control \[ \begin{aligned} \dot x_i(t)=x_i(t)[b_i(t)-\sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij}(t)x_j(t)-d_i(t)u_i(t)],\\ \dot u_i(t)=r_i(t)-e_i(t)u_i(t)+f_i(t)x_i(t),\quad i=1,2,\dots,n, \end{aligned} \tag{1} \] where \(x_i(t)\) represents the density of the \(i\)th species at time \(t\), respectively, \(i=1,2,\dots,n\), and \(u_i(t)\) is the control variable, \(i=1,2,\dots,n\). \(a_{ij}(t), b_i(t), d_i(t),\) \( r_i(t), e_i(t), f_i(t)\), \(i,j=1,2,\dots, n\), are continuous functions defined on \([c,+\infty)\). Given a function \(g(t)\) defined on \([c,+\infty)\), let \(g_M=\sup\{g(t)| c\leq t<+\infty\}, g_L=\inf\{g(t)| c\leq t<+\infty\}.\) It is assumed in (1) that \(a_{ij}(t)\geq 0, a_{ijM}<+\infty, a_{ijL}>0, b_i(t)>0, b_{iM}<+\infty, b_{iL}>0, d_i(t)\geq 0, d_{iM}<+\infty, d_{iL}\geq 0, r_i(t)\geq 0, r_{iM}<+\infty, r_{iL}\geq 0, e_i(t)>0, e_{iM}<+\infty, e_{iL}>0, f_i(t)>0, f_{iM}<+\infty\) and \(f_{iL}>0\). Some average conditions for the permanence of system (1) and sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of positive solutions of system (1) are derived, respectively. The results developed by \textit{J. Zhao, J. Jiang} and \textit{A. C. Lazer} [Nonlinear Anal., Real World Appl. 5, 265--276 (2004; Zbl 1085.34040)] are generalized.
