A discrete time non-autonomous two-species competitive system with delays is proposed, which involves the influence of many generations on the density of species population. Sufficient conditions for permanence of the system are given. When the system is periodic, by using the continuous theorem of coincidence degree theory and constructing a suitable Lyapunov discrete function, sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence and global attractivity of positive periodic solutions are obtained. As an application, examples and their numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the feasibility of our main results.

In this paper, we are focused on a new ratio-dependent predator–prey system that introduced the diffusive and time delay effect simultaneously. By analyzing the characteristic equations and the distribution of eigenvalues, we examine the stability and boundary of positive equilibrium states, and the existence of spatially homogeneous and spatially inhomogeneous bifurcating periodic solutions, respectively. Further, we prove that when [Formula: see text], the system has Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium state. By using the center manifold reduction, we simplify the system so that we can convert an infinite-dimensional system into a low-dimensional finite-dimensional system. By using the normal form theory, we obtain explicit expressions for the direction, stability and period of Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions. Finally, we have illustrated the main results in this thesis by numerical examples, our work may provide some useful measures to save time or cost and to control the ecosystem.

In this paper, we consider the effects of time delay and space diffusion on the dynamics of a Leslie–Gower type predator–prey system. It is shown that under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition the occurrence of space diffusion does not affect the stability of the positive constant equilibrium of the system. However, we find that the incorporation of a discrete delay representing the gestation of prey species can not only destabilize the positive constant equilibrium of the system but can also cause a Hopf bifurcation at the positive constant equilibrium as it crosses some critical values. In particular, we prove that these Hopf bifurcations' periodic solutions are all spatially homogeneous if the diffusive rates are suitably large, which has the same properties as periodic solutions of the corresponding delayed system without diffusion. However, if the diffusive rates are suitably small, then the system will generate spatially nonhomogeneous periodic solutions. The results in this work demonstrate that diffusion plays an important role in deriving complex spatiotemporal dynamics.
