Periodic solutions in a delayed predator-prey model with nonmonotonic functional response. (English) Zbl 1172.34043

Summary: By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and some functional analytic techniques, several existence criteria are established for positive periodic solutions of a delayed predator-prey model with nonmonotonic functional response of the form
\[ \begin{aligned} x'(t)&= x(t)(a(t)-b(t)x(t))- g(x(t))y(t),\\ y'(t)&= y(t)(\mu(t)g(x(t-\tau))-d(t)), \end{aligned} \]
where \(a(t)\), \(b(t)\), \(\mu(t)\) and \(d(t)\) are all positive periodic continuous functions with period \(\omega>0\), \(\tau\) is a nonnegative constant and \(g\) is a nonmonotonic functional response function. And an example is given to illustrate our main result.
