Permanence and extinction of stochastic regime-switching mutualism model

This paper is concerned with the permanence and extinction of a stochastic regime-switching mutualism model. We aim to find the difference between the stochastic mutualism model with regime-switching and without regime-switching. By studying ergodicity of regime-switching diffusion processes, we establish the sufficient conditions to estimate the permanence and extinction of a species in a random switching environment. Moreover, compared with the system without switching, the advantages of the stochastic regime-switching mutualism model are given.
