Permanence of nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra delay differential systems Original Research Article

In this work, applying the results offered by S. Ahmad and A.C. Lazer [On a property of nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra competition model, Nonlinear Anal. 37 (1999) 603–611] and the recent work of R. Redheffer [Mean values and the nonautonomous May–Leonald equations, Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl. 4 (2003) 301–306] to an nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra differential system with finite delays, we establish sufficient conditions for the permanence of the system.
