Partial survival and extinction of species in discrete nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra systems (Q2566550)

Consider the following discrete model of a nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra system, \[ N_i(p+1)=N_i(p)\exp \biggl\{c_i(p)-\sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{l=0}^m a_{ij}^l (p)N_j(p-k_l)\biggr\}, \quad p\geq 0, \;1\leq i\leq n, \] with \[ N_i(p)=N_{ip}\geq 0, \;p\leq 0, \quad \text{and}\quad N_{i0}>0, \;1\leq i\leq n, \] which is the discrete version of the system considered by \textit{Y. Muroya} [Dyn. Syst. Appl. 12, No. 3--4, 295--306 (2003; Zbl 1044.92049)]. The author studies the partial survial and extinction of species. These results extend those of \textit{S. Ahmad} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 127, No. 10, 2905--2910 (1999; Zbl 0924.34040)] to discrete nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra systems.
