Abstract

Sufficient conditions which are verifiable in a finite number of arithmetical steps are derived for the existence and global asymptotic stability of a feasible steady state in an integro-differential system modelling the dynamics of n competing species in a constant environment with delayed interspecific interactions. A novel method involving a nested sequence of “asymptotic” upper and lower bounds is developed.
