Harmless delays and global attractivity for nonautonomous predator-prey system with dispersion

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a nonautonomous predator-prey model with dispersion and a finite number of discrete delays. The system consists of two Lotka-Volterra patches and has two species: one can disperse between two patches, but the other is confined to one patch and cannot disperse. Our purpose is to demonstrate that the time delays are harmless for uniform persistence of the solutions of the system. Furthermore, we establish conditions under which the system admits a positive periodic solution which attracts all solutions
