Periodic solutions of a periodic Lotka--Volterra system with delays (Q1888541)

Using the continuation theorem of the coincidence degree theory proposed by Gaines and Mawhin, the authors obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive periodic solution of the following delay model \[ u_i'(t)=u_i(t)\left[b_i(t)-\sum_{k=1}^na_{ik}(t)u_k(t-\tau_{ik}(t))-\sum_{k=1}^mc_{ik}(t)v_k(t-\sigma_{ik}(t))\right],\;i=1,\cdots,n, \] \[ v_j'(t)=v_j(t)\left[-r_j(t)-\sum_{k=1}^nd_{ik}(t)u_k(t-\delta_{ik}(t))-\sum_{k=1}^me_{ik}(t)v_k(t-\theta_{ik}(t))\right],\;j=1,\cdots,m. . \]
