Permanence and stability of a predator-prey system with stage structure for predator (Q869557)

The authors propose the following delayed predator-prey system with stage structure for predator \[ \frac{dx(t)}{dt}=x(t)\left( r-a(t-\tau _1)-by(t)\right) , \] \[ \frac{dy(t)}{dt} =\alpha e^{-\gamma \tau _2}y(t-\tau _2)x(t-\tau _2)-vy(t)-\beta y^2(t), \] \[ \frac{dy_j(t)}{dt}=\alpha x(t)y(t)-\alpha e^{-\gamma \tau _2}y(t-\tau _2)x(t-\tau _2)-\gamma y_j(t), \] where \(x(t),y(t),y_j(t)\) are the densities of prey, mature predator and immature predator at time \(t,\) and all the parameters are positive. Some results concerning with the boundedness of solutions, permanence and stability of the equilibrium are established.
