Extinction in nonautonomous competitive Lotka-Volterra systems with infinite delay (Q651147)

The authors consider nonautonomous competitive Lotka-Volterra systems of integrodifferential equations with infinite delay. The principle of competitive exclusion is extended to \(n\)-species nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra competition systems of differential equations with infinite delay. It is shown that if the coefficients are bounded, continuous and satisfy certain inequalities, then any solution with initial function in an appropriate space will have \(n-1\) of its components tending to zero, while the remaining one will stabilize at a certain solution of a logistic differential equation.
