Almost periodic solution of the non-autonomous two-species competitive model with stage structure (Q945412)

The system of differential equations \[ \begin{cases} \dot{x}_1(t)=-a_1(t)x_1(t)+b_1(t)x_2(t),\\ \dot{x}_2(t)=a_2(t)x_2(t)-b_2(t)x_2(t)-c(t)x^2_2(t)-\beta_1(t)x_2(t)x_3(t),\\ \dot{x}_3(t)=x_3(t)(d(t)-e(t)x_3(t)-\beta_2(t)x_2(t)), \end{cases} \] as a non-autonomous two-species competitive model with stage structure is investigated. The aim of this article is, by further developing the analytic technique of \textit{K. Gopalsamy} [J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. B 27, 346--360 (1986; Zbl 0591.92022)] and by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, to obtain a set of ``easily verifiable'' sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of a unique, globally attractive, positive , almost periodic solution of system (1). An example is presented.
