Periodicity for a Food Chain Model with Functional Responses on Time Scales

Authors: Kejun Zhuang

Abstract:

With the help of coincidence degree theory, sufficient conditions for existence of periodic solutions for a food chain model with functional responses on time scales are established.

Keywords: time scales, food chain model, coincidence degree, periodic solutions.
