Permanence for the discrete competition model with infinite deviating arguments (Q2398540)

Summary: Sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence of the following discrete model of competition: \[ x_1 (k + 1) = x_1(k) \exp \{r_1 (k) \left[\left(K_1 (k) + \alpha_1 (k) \sum_{s = 0}^{+ \infty} J_2 (s) x_2 (k - s)\right) / \left(1 + \sum_{s = 0}^{+ \infty} J_2 (s) x_2 (k - s)\right) - x_1 (k - \delta_1 (k))\right] \}; \] \[ x_2(k + 1) = x_2(k) \exp \{r_2 (k) \left[\left(K_2 (k) + \alpha_2 (k) \sum_{s = 0}^{+ \infty} J_1 (s) x_1 (k - s)\right) / \left(1 + \sum_{s = 0}^{+ \infty} J_1 (s) x_1 (k - s)\right) - x_2 (k - \delta_2 (k))\right] \}, \] where \(r_i\), \(K_i\), \(\alpha_i\), \(J_i\), and \(\delta_i\), \(i = 1,2\), are nonnegative sequences bounded above and below by positive constants, and \(K_i > \alpha_i\), \(i = 1,2\).
