Existence of positive periodic solutions for a nonautonomous neutral delay n-species competitive model with impulses (Q708560)

Sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions are obtained for the following system \[ \begin{multlined} {N_i}'(t)=N_i(t)\left[r_i(t)-\sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij}(t) N_j(t)-\sum_{j=1}^n b_{ij}(t) \int_{-\infty}^t k_{ij}(t-s)N_j(s)\,ds\right. \\ \left. -\sum_{j=1}^n c_{ij}(t) N_j(t-\tau_{ij}(t))(t)-\sum_{j=1}^n d_{ij}(t){ N_j}'(t-\gamma_{ij}(t))(t)\right], \end{multlined} \] \(\Delta N_i(t_k)=\lambda_{ik}N_i(t_k),~ i=1,\dots,n,~ k=1,2\dots . \)
