Uniform persistence and periodic solutions for a discrete predator-prey system with delays (Q819698)

This paper deals with a class of discrete predator-prey systems with delay. A sufficient condition for the uniform persistence of the system is first shown, and then, if the coefficients in the system are periodic, the existence of a periodic solution based on the uniform persistence result is obtained by generalizing the Yoshizawa's theorem on the existence of periodic solution for ordinary differential equation to the difference equations with delays.
