Permanence and Almost Periodic Solutions for N-Species Nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra Competitive Systems with Delays and Impulsive Perturbations on Time Scales
Abstract
We investigate a class of nonautonomous N-species Lotka-Volterra-type competitive systems with time delays and impulsive perturbations on time scales. By using comparison theorems of impulsive dynamic equations on time scales, we obtain sufficient conditions to guarantee the permanence of the system. Then based on the Massera-type theorem for impulsive dynamic equations on time scales, we establish existence and uniformly asymptotic stability of the unique positive almost periodic solution of the system. Finally, an example is employed to illustrate our main results.
