Multiple positive periodic solutions to a non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system with harvesting terms

Kaihong Zhao, Yongkun Li

Abstract:
Using Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we establish the existence of $2^{n+m}$ positive periodic solutions for a non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra network-like predator-prey system with harvesting terms. Here n and m denote the number of prey and predator species respectively. An example is given to illustrate our results.
