The criteria of ultimate boundedness for nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra tree systems Original Research Article

In this paper, by introducing a concept called the degree of species, we obtain a set of sufficient conditions for the ultimate boundedness of nonautonomous n-species Lotka-Volterra tree systems. As a consequence, we also obtain the criteria of the existence of a globally stable equilibrium point for the autonomous Lotka-Volterra tree system. The criteria in this paper are in explicit forms of the parameters, and thus, are easily verifiable.
