Permanence and global attractivity of delay diffusive prey-predator systems with the Michaelis-Menten functional response (Q2485411)

The author studies a nonautonomous two preys-one predator system with delay. The two preys-one predator interaction term is of Michaelis-Menten (Holling-type II) functional response type. The author establishes positivity and boundedness of the solutions. Then, he derives sufficient conditions for the permanence of the system. Furthermore, he derives sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of arbitrary periodic solutions of the system. An example is given to show the feasibility of the derived conditions. The reviewer is quite impressed by this work. However, Razumikhin-type theorem used frequently should have been stated in the paper. Also a reference about the existence of periodic solutions of the system should have been given.
