Global asymptotic behavior of a nonautonomous competitor-competitor-mutualist model (Q2319134)

Summary: The global asymptotic behavior of a nonautonomous competitor-competitor-mutualist model is investigated, where all the coefficients are time-dependent and asymptotically approach periodic functions, respectively. Under certain conditions, it is shown that the limit periodic system of this asymptotically periodic model admits two positive periodic solutions \((u_1^T, u_{2 T}, u_3^T)\), \((u_{1 T}, u_2^T, u_{3 T})\) such that \(u_{i T} \leq u_i^T\) (\(i = 1,2,3\)), and the sector \(\{(u_1, u_2, u_3) : u_{i T} \leq u_i \leq u_i^T,\, i = 1,2,3 \}\) is a global attractor of the asymptotically periodic model. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a positive periodic solution which is globally asymptotically stable.
