Global dynamics of delay equations for populations with competition among immature individuals (Q2634209)

By the notion of strong attractor the authors reduce the study of the attracting properties of the equilibria of the DDEs \[ u'_1(t)=P_1(b_1(u_1(t-\tau),u_2(t-\tau)),b_2(u_1(t-\tau),u_2(t-\tau)))-\mu_1 u_1(t), \] \[ u'_2(t)=P_1(b_1(u_1(t-\tau),u_2(t-\tau)),b_2(u_1(t-\tau),u_2(t-\tau)))-\mu_2 u_2(t) \] to the analysis of a related two-dimensional discrete system. Explicit easily verifiable conditions are obtained for global extinction and global attractivity for planar Lotka-Volterra systems.
