Multiple positive periodic solutions of a delayed discrete predator-prey system with type IV functional responses. (English) Zbl 1142.39015

The authors consider the following discrete predator-prey system with type IV functional responses and delays:
\[ \begin{aligned} x_1(k+ 1)&= x_1(k)\exp\Biggl[b_1(k)-a_1(k)x_1(k- \tau_1(k))-{c(k)x_2(k-\sigma(k))\over(x^2_1(k- \tau_2(k))/n)+ x_1(k-\tau_2(k))+ a}\Biggr],\\ x_2(k+1)&= x_2(k)\exp\Biggl[-b_2(k)+ {a_2(k)x_1(k-\tau_2(k))\over (x^2_1(k-\tau_2(k))/n)+ x_1(k- \tau_2(k))+ a}\Biggr] \end{aligned} \]
(where for \(i=1,2\), \(b_i: Z\to\mathbb R\), \(c,a_i: Z\to\mathbb R^+\), \(\tau_i,\sigma: Z\to Z^+\) are all \(\omega\) periodic, \(n\) and \(a\) are positive constants) for the initial condition
\[ \begin{aligned} x_1(-m)&\geq 0,\quad m=1,2,\dots,\max\{\tau_1(k), \tau_2(k),\sigma(k)\},\quad x(0)> 0.\\ x_2(-m)&\geq 0,\quad m= 1,2,\dots,\max\{\tau_1(k), \tau_2(k), \sigma(k)\},\quad y(0)> 0. \end{aligned} \]
In the paper a theorem for the existence of positive periodic solutions of the system is given.
