A class of nonautonomous two-species competitive system with stage structure and impulse is considered. By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we derive a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of at least a positive periodic solution, and, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, the uniqueness and global attractivity of the positive periodic solution are presented. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the correctness of the obtained results. 1. Introduction In recent years, with the increasing applications of theory of differential equations in mathematical ecology, various mathematical models have been proposed in the study of population 1–25. But most of the previous results focused on the dynamical behaviors including the stability, attractiveness, persistence, and periodicity of solution of the systems which have fixed parameters and there is no impulse. Considering that harvest of many populations are not continuous and the periodic environmental factor, it is reasonable to investigate the systems with periodic coefficients and impulse. Impulsive differential systems display a combination of characteristics of both the continuous-time and discrete-time systems 26–30. In 2006, Chen 1 studied the following non-autonomous almost periodic competitive two-species model with stage structure in one species: 2 International Journal of Differential Equations ẋ1 t −a1 tx1 t b1 tx2 t, ẋ2 t a2 tx1 t − b2 tx2 t − ctx22 t − β1 tx2 tx2 tx3 t, ẋ3 t x3 t dt − etx3 t − β2 tx2 t , 1.1 where x1 t and x2 t are immature and mature population densities of one species, respectively; x3 t represents the population density of another species; ai t, bi t, βi t i 1, 2, ct, dt, et are all continuous, almost periodic functions. The competition is between x2 t and x3 t. Chen 1 obtained sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique, globally attractive, strictly positive almost periodic solution for system 1.1. Considering that the harvest is an annual harvest pulse, to describe a system more accurately, we should consider the impulsive differential equation. Motivated by this point of view, we revised system 1.1 into the following form: ẋ1 t −a1 tx1 t b1 tx2 t, t / tk , ẋ2 t a2 tx2 t − b2 tx2 t − ctx22 t − β1 tx2 tx3 t, ẋ3 t x3 t dt − etx3 t − β2 tx2 t , Δxi tk xi tk − xi t−k −γik xi tk, t / tk , t / tk , 1.2 i 1, 2, 3, k 1, 2, . . . , q, where Δxi tk xi tk − xi t−k are the impulses at moments tk and t1 < t2 < · · · is a strictly increasing sequence such that limk → ∞ tk ∞; x1 t and x2 t are immature and mature population densities of one species, respectively, and x3 t represents the population density of another species. The competition is between x2 t and x3 t. Throughout the paper, we always assume the following. H1 ai t, bi t, βi t i 1, 2, ct, dt, et are all continuous ω periodic; that is, ai t ω ai t, bi t ω bi t, βi t ω βi t i 1, 2, ct ω ct, dt ω dt, et ω et for any t ∈ R. H2 ai t, bi t, βi t i 1, 2, ct, dt, et are all positive. H3 0 < γik < 1, i 1, 2, 3 for all k ∈ N, and there exists a positive integer q such that tkq tk ω, γikq γik , i 1, 2, 3. The principle object of this paper is by using Mawhin’s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and by constructing the Lyapunov functions to investigate the stability and existence of periodic solutions of 1.2. To the best of my knowledge, it is the first time to deal with the existence and stability of periodic solutions of 1.2. The organization of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, we introduce some notations and definitions and state some preliminary results needed in later sections. We then establish, in Section 3, some simple criteria for the existence of positive periodic solutions of system 1.2 by using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory proposed by Gaines and Mawhin 31. The uniqueness and global attractivity of the positive periodic solution are presented in Section 4. In Section 5, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the correctness of the obtained results. International Journal of Differential Equations 3 2. Preliminaries We will introduce some notations and definitions and state some preliminary results. Consider the impulsive system ẋt ft, x, Δxt|ttk t/ tk , k 1, 2, . . . , Ik x t−k , 2.1 where x ∈ Rn , f : R × Rn → Rn is continuous and ft ω, x ft, x; Ik : Rn → Rn are continuous, and there exists a positive integer q such that tkq tk ω, Ikq x Ik x with tk ∈ R, tk1 > tk , limk → ∞ ∞, Δxt|ttk xtk − xt−k . For tk / 0 k 1, 2, . . ., 0, ω ∩ {tk } {t1 , t2 , . . . , tq }. As we know, {tk } are called points of jump. Let us recall some definitions. For the Canchy problem, ẋt ft, x, t ∈ 0, ω, t / tk , Δxt|ttk Ik x t−k , x0 x0 . 2.2 Definition 2.1. A map x : 0, ω → Rn is said to be a solution of 2.2, if it satisfied the following conditions: i xt is a piecewise continuous map with first-class discontinuity points in tk ∩0, ω, and at each discontinuity point it is continuous on the left; ii xt satisfies 2.2. Definition 2.2. A map x : 0, ω → Rn is said to be an ω periodic solution of 2.1, if i xt satisfies i and ii of Definition 2.1 in the interval 0, ω and ii xt satisfies xt ω − 0 xt − 0, t ∈ R. Obviously, if xt is a solution of 2.2 defined on 0, ω, such that x0 xω, then, by the periodicity of 2.2 in t, the function x∗ t defined by ∗ x t ⎧ ⎨x t − jω , t ∈ jω, j 1 ω \ {tk }, ⎩x∗ t is left continuous at t t k 2.3 is a ω periodic solution of 2.1. For system 1.2, seeking the periodic solutions is equivalent to seeking solutions of the following boundary value problem: ẋ1 t −a1 tx1 t b1 tx2 t, t/ tk , t ∈ 0, ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q, ẋ2 t a2 tx2 t − b2 tx2 t − ctx22 t − β1 tx2 tx3 t, t / tk , t ∈ 0, ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q, tk , t ∈ 0, ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q, ẋ3 t x3 t dt − etx3 t − β2 tx2 t , t / − Δxi tk xi tk − xi tk −γik xi tk , i 1, 2, 3, xi 0 xi ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q. 2.4 4 International Journal of Differential Equations 3. Existence of Positive Periodic Solutions In this section, based on the Mawhin’s continuation theorem, we shall study the existence of at least one periodic solution of 1.1. To do so, we shall make some preparations. Let X, Y be normed vector spaces; L : Dom L ⊂ X → Y is a linear mapping; N : X → Y is a continuous mapping. The mapping L will be called a Fredholm mapping of index zero if dimKer L codimIm L < ∞ and Im L is closed in Y . If L is a Fredholm mapping of index zero and there exist continuous projectors P : X → X and Q : Y → Y such that Im P Ker L, Im L Ker Q ImI −Q, it follows that L | Dom L ∩ Ker P : I −P X → Im L is invertible. We denote the inverse of that map by KP . If Ω is an open bounded subset of X, the mapping N will be called L-compact on Ω if QNΩ is bounded and KP I − QN : Ω → X is compact. Since Im Q is isomorphic to Ker L, there exist isomorphisms J : Im Q → Ker L. Now we introduce Mawhin’s continuation theorem 31 as follows. Lemma 3.1 Continuation Theorem 31. Let L be a Fredholm mapping of index zero, and let N be L-compact on Ω. Suppose a for each λ ∈ 0, 1, every solution x of Lx λNx is such that x ∈ / ∂Ω. b QNx / 0 for each x ∈ Ker L ∂Ω, and deg{JQN, Ω ∂ Ker L, 0} / 0. Then the equation Lx Nx has at least one solution lying in Dom L Ω. For convenience and simplicity in the following discussion, we always use the notations below throughout the paper: f 1 ω ω ftdt, 0 f L min ft, t∈0,ω f M max ft, t∈0,ω 1 f ω ω ftdt, 3.1 0 where ft is a ω continuous periodic function. For any nonnegative integer p, let Cp 0, ω; t1 , t2 , . . . , tq {x : 0, ω → Rm | xp t exist for t / t1 , . . . , tq ; xp t 0, and let p j j x t − 0 exist at t1 , t2 , . . . , tq , and x tk x tk − 0, k 1, . . . , m, j 0, 1, 2, . . . , p} with the p norm xp max {supt∈0,ω xj t} , where · is any norm of Rm . It is easy to see that j1 Cp 0, ω; t1 , t2 , . . . , tq is a Banach space. Now we are now in a position to state and prove the existence of periodic solutions of 2.4. Theorem 3.2. In addition to H1 , H2 , H3 , assume further that the following hold: H4 min{P1 , P2 , P3 } > 0, H5 a1 ω > q ln 1 − γ1k , 3.2 k1 H6 dω q k1 ln 1 − γ3k > β2 ωeB4 , β1 β2 / ce, International Journal of Differential Equations 5 where P1 |a2 − b2 |ω q ln 1 − γ2k − cωeB6 , k1 P2 |a2 − b2 |ω q ln 1 − γ2k − β1 ωeB29 , 3.3 k1 P3 |a2 − b2 |ω q ln 1 − γ2k − cω, k1 and B4 , B6 , B29 are defined by 3.27, 3.32, and 3.61, respectively. Then the system 1.2 has at least a ω periodic solution. Proof. According to the discussion above in Section 2, we need only to prove that the boundary value problem 2.4 has a solution. Since solutions of 2.4 remained positive for all t ≥ 0, we let u1 t lnx1 t, u2 t lnx2 t, u3 t lnx3 t, 3.4 then system 2.4 can be translated to u̇1 t −a1 t b1 teu2 t−u1 t , t/ tk , t ∈ 0, ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q, u̇2 t a2 t − b2 t − cteu2 t − β1 teu3 t , u̇3 t dt − ete u3 t − β2 te u2 t Δui tk ln 1 − γik , , t/ tk , t ∈ 0, ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q, 3.5 t/ tk , t ∈ 0, ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q, i 1, 2, 3, ui 0 ui ω. It is easy to see that if system 3.5 has one ω periodic solution u∗1 t, u∗2 t, u∗3 tT , then ∗ ∗ ∗ T x1∗ t, x2∗ t, x3∗ tT eu1 t , eu2 t , eu3 t is a positive solution of system 1.2. Therefore, to complete the proof, it suffices to show that system 3.5 has at least one ω periodic solution. In order to use the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we take X u ∈ C 0, ω; t1 , t2 , . . . , tq , Y X × R3×q1 . 3.6 Then X is a Banach space with norm · 0 , and Y is also a Banch space with norm z x0 y, x ∈ X, Y ∈ R3q . 6 International Journal of Differential Equations Let the following hold: dom L x u1 , u2 , u3 T ∈ C0, ω; t1 , t2 , . . . , tq , L : Dom L ⊂ X −→ Y, q x −→ x , Δxtk k1 , N : X −→ Y, ⎞ ⎛⎛ ⎞ ⎛ −a1 t b1 t expu2 t − u1 t ln 1 − γ11 ⎜⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ u2 t ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ Nu ⎜ − β1 teu3 t ⎟ ⎝⎝a2 t − b2 t − cte ⎠, ⎝ln 1 − γ21 ⎠, ln 1 − γ31 dt − eteu3 t − β2 teu2 t ⎞ ⎞ ⎞ ⎛ ⎛ ln 1 − γ12 ln 1 − γ1q ⎜ ⎜ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎜ln 1 − γ22 ⎟, . . . , ⎜ln 1 − γ2q ⎟, 0⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ⎠ ln 1 − γ32 ln 1 − γ3q 3.7 Obviously, Ker L u : ut h ∈ R3 , t ∈ 0, ω , Im L z f, a1 , a2 , . . . , aq , d ∈ Y : ω q fsds ak d 0 0 k1 3.8 X × R3×q × {0}, dimKer L 3 codimIm L.

Obviously, QN and KP I − QN are continuous. Using the Ascoli-Arzela theorem, it is not difficult to show that KP I − QNΩ is compact for any open bounded set Ω ⊂ X. Moreover, QNΩ is bounded. Thus, N is L-compact on Ω with any open bounded set Ω ⊂ X. 8 International Journal of Differential Equations Now we are at the point to search for an appropriate open, bounded subset Ω for the application of the continuation theorem.

Obviously, Bi i 1, 2, . . . , 34 are independent of λ ∈ 0, 1. Similar to the proof of Theorem 2.1 of 17, we can easily find a sufficiently large M > 0 so that we denote the set Ω ut u1 t, u2 t, u3 tT ∈ x : u < M, u tk ∈ Ω, k 1, 2, . . . , q . 3.72 It is clear that Ω satisfies the requirement a in Lemma 3.1. Whenu1 t, u2 t, u3 tT ∈ ∂Ω ∩ Ker L ∂Ω ∩ R3 and u {u1 , u2 , u3 T } is a constant vector in R3 with u u1 t, u2 t, u3 tT M, then we have ⎞ ⎞ q 1 ln 1 − γ1k ⎟ ⎟ ⎜⎜ a1 b1 e ⎟ ⎟ ⎜⎜ ω k1 ⎟ ⎟ ⎜⎜ q ⎟ ⎟ ⎜⎜ ⎟ 1 ⎟ ⎜⎜ u2 u3 ln 1 − γ2k ⎟, 0, . . . , 0⎟ / 0.

By now, we have proved that Ω verifies all requirements of Lemma 3.1, then it follows that Lu Nu has at least one solution u1 t, u2 t, u3 tT in Dom L ∩ Ω; that is, to say, 3.5 has at least one ω periodic solution in T Dom L ∩ Ω. Then we know that x1 t, x2 t, x3 tT eu1 t , exu2 t , eu3 t is an ω periodic solution of system 2.4 with strictly positive components. This completes the proof. 4. Uniqueness and Global Attractivity of Periodic Solutions Under the hypotheses H1 , H2 , H3 , we consider the following ordinary differential equation without impulsive: 1 − γ2k z2 t , ż1 t z1 t −a1 t b1 t % 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k z1 t & & ż2 t z2 t a2 t − b2 t − ct 1 − γ2k z2 t − β1 t 1 − γ3k z3 t , % 0<tk <t 0<tk <t ż3 t z3 t dt − et & 0<tk <t 1 − γ3k z3 t − β2 t 0<tk <t & 4.1 1 − γ2k z2 t , 0<tk <t with the initial conditions zi 0 > 0, i 1, 2, 3. The following lemmas will be helpful in the proofs of our results. The proof of the following Lemma 4.1 is similar to that of Theorem 1 in 18, and it will be omitted. Lemma 4.1. Assume that H1 , H2 , H3 hold, then one has the following. i If zt z1 t, z2 t, z3 tT is a solution of 4.1 on 0, ∞, then xi t γik zi t i 1, 2, 3 is a solution of 2.4 on 0, ∞. % 0<tk <t 1 − ii If xt x1 t, x2 t, x3 tT is a solution of 2.4 on 0, ∞, then zi t % −1 0<tk <t 1 − γik xi t i 1, 2, 3 is a solution of 4.1 on 0, ∞. Lemma 4.2. Let zt z1 t, z2 t, z3 tT denote any positive solution of system 4.1 with initial conditions zi 0 > 0, i 1, 2, 3. Assume that the following condition holds, L H7 aM 2 > b2 , dM > eL . 4.2 International Journal of Differential Equations 19 Then there exists a T3 > 0 such that i 1, 2, 3, for t ≥ T3 , 0 < zi t ≤ Mi , 4.3 where % M1 > M1∗ M2 > M2∗ M3 > M3∗ 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k M2 , L% a1 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k c L aM 2 − b2 , 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k 4.4 % L eL dM − eL . 0<tk <t 1 − γ3k % Proof. From the second equation of 4.1, we can obtain & ż2 t ≤ z2 t a2 t − b2 t − ct 1 − γ2k z2 t 0<tk <t L L ≤ z2 t aM 2 − b2 − c & 4.5 1 − γ2k z2 t . 0<tk <t By 4.5, we can derive the following.

Then there 2 − b2 − c exists ε1 > 0 such that t ∈ 0, ε1 , then z2 t > M2 , and also we have 4.6 ż2 t < −α1 < 0. From what has been discussed above, we can easily conclude that, if z2 0 > M2 , then z2 t is strictly monotone decreasing with speed at least α1 . Therefore, there exists a T1 > 0 such that t > T1 , then z2 t ≤ M2 . From the third equation of 4.1, we can obtain ż3 t ≤ z3 t dt − et & 1 − γ3k z3 t 0<tk <t & ≤ z3 t dM − eL 1 − γ3k z3 t . 0<tk <t By 4.7, we can derive the following B1 If z3 0 ≤ M3 , then z3 t ≤ M3 , t ≥ 0. 4.7 20 International Journal of Differential Equations % B2 If z3 0 > M3 , let −α2 M3 dM − eL 0<tk <t 1 − γ3k M3 , α2 > 0. Then there exists ε2 > 0 such that t ∈ 0, ε2 , then z3 t > M3 , and also we have 4.8 ż3 t < −α2 < 0. From what has been discussed above, we can easily conclude that, if z3 0 > M3 , then z3 t is strictly monotone decreasing with speed at least α2 . Therefore, there exists a T2 > 0 such that t > T2 , then z3 t ≤ M3 .

Lemma 4.3. Let H1 , H2 , H3 hold. Assume that the following condition holds. H8 aL2 > b2M β1M & 1 − γ3k , dL > eM − β2M 0<tk <t & 1 − γ2k . 0<tk <t 4.12 Then there exists positive constants T > 0 and mi i 1, 2, 3 such that, for all t > T , i 1, 2, 3, mi < zi t, for t ≥ T, in which m1 < m∗1 1 − γ2k m2 M% , a1 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k b1L % 0<tk <t 4.13 International Journal of Differential Equations 21 m2 < m∗2 % aL2 − b2M − β1M 0<tk <t 1 − γ3k , % cM 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k m3 < m∗3 % dL − eM − β2M 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k M2 . % eM 0<tk <t 1 − γ3k 4.14 Proof. By the second equation of 4.1, It is easy to obtain that, for t ≥ T3 , ż2 t ≥ z2 t aL2 − b2M −c & 1 − γ2k z2 t − M 0<tk <t & 1 − γ3k M3 , β1M 4.15 0<tk <t where T3 is defined in Lemma 4.1. C1 If z2 T3 ≥ m2 , then z2 t ≥ m2 , t ≥ T3 . C2 If z2 T3 < m2 and let μ1 z2 T3 aL2 − b2M −c M & 1 − γ2k m2 , 4.16 0<tk <t then there exists ε3 > 0 such that t ∈ T3 , T3 ε3 , then z2 t > m2 , and also we have 4.17 ż2 t > μ1 > 0. Then we know that if z2 T3 < m2 , z2 t will strictly monotonically increase with speed μ2 . Thus, there exists T4 > T3 such that if t ≥ T4 , then z2 t ≥ m2 . By the third equation of 4.1, It is easy to obtain that for t ≥ T3 , ż3 t ≥ z3 t d − e L & M 1 − γ3k z3 t − β2 1 − γ2k M2 , & M 0<tk <t 4.18 0<tk <t where T3 is defined in Lemma 4.2.

Thus, there exists T5 > T3 such that, if t ≥ T5 , then z3 t ≥ m3 . Finally, by the third equation of 4.1, we obtain ż1 t ≥ z1 t % −aM 1 0<t <t 1 − γ2k m2 b1L % k 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k z1 t 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k m2 M L −a1 z1 t b1 % . 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k z1 t % 4.21 Thus, we have 4.22 z1 t ≥ m1 , for t ≥ T4 . Set T max{T4 , T5 }, then we have zi t > mi , i 1, 2, 3, for t ≥ T. 4.23 In the sequel, we formulate the uniqueness and global attractivity of the ω periodic solution x∗ t in Theorem 4.4. It is immediate that if x∗ t is global attractivity, then x∗ t is in fact unique. Theorem 4.4. In addition to H1 − H8 , assume further H9 limt → ∞ inf Bi t > 0, where B1 t ct − β2 t − m1 % bM 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k & 1 − γ2k , 0<tk <t & B2 t et − β1 t 1 − γ3k . 4.24 0<tk <t Then system 2.4 has a unique positive ω periodic solution x∗ t x1∗ t, x2∗ t, x3∗ tT which is global attractivity. Proof. According to the conclusion of Theorem 3.2, we only need to show that the positive periodic solution of 2.4 is global asymptotical stable. Let x∗ t x1∗ t, x2∗ t, x3∗ tT be a positive ω periodic solution of system 2.4 let xt x1 t, x2 t, x3 tT be any % positive solution of system 2.4. Then z∗ t z∗1 t, z∗2 t, z∗3 tT , z∗1 t 0<tk <t 1 − % % γ1k x1∗ t, z∗2 t 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k x2∗ t, z∗3 t 0<tk <t 1 − γ3k x3∗ t is the positive ω periodic solution of 4.1, and zt is the positive solution of 4.1. It follows from Lemma 4.2 and 4.3 that there exists positive constants T > 0, Mi and mi defined by Lemmas 4.2 and 4.3, resp. such that, for all t > T , mi < z∗i t ≤ Mi , mi < zi t ≤ Mi , i 1, 2, 3. 4.25 International Journal of Differential Equations 23 Define V t ln z∗1 t − ln z1 t ln z∗2 t − ln z2 t ln z∗3 t − ln z3 t. 4.26 Calculating the upper-right derivative of V t along the solution of 4.1, it follows for t ≥ T that ∗ 3 zi t zi t D V t − sgn z∗i t − zi t ∗ zi t zi t i1 ∗ % z2 t z2 t ∗ 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k sgn z1 t − z1 t b1 t % − z∗1 t z1 t 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k & ∗ sgn z2 t − z2 t −ct 1 − γ2k z∗2 t − z2 t 0<tk <t & −β1 t 1 − γ3k z∗3 t − z3 t 0<tk <t & sgn z∗3 t − z3 t −et 1 − γ3k z∗3 t − z3 t 4.27 0<tk <t & −β2 t 1 − γ2k z∗2 t − z2 t 0<tk <t ≤ −ct & & 1 − γ2k z∗2 t − z2 t β1 t 1 − γ3k z∗3 t − z3 t 0<tk <t − et 0<tk <t & & 1 − γ3k z∗3 t − z3 t β2 t 1 − γ2k z∗2 t − z2 t D1 t, 0<tk <t 0<tk <t where ⎧ ∗ % z2 t z2 t ⎪ 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k ⎪ ⎪ − , ⎪b1 t % ⎪ z∗1 t z1 t ⎨ 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k D1 t ∗ % ⎪ ⎪ z2 t z2 t ⎪ 0<tk <t 1 − γ2k ⎪ ⎪ − , ⎩b1 t % z∗1 t z1 t 0<tk <t 1 − γ1k z∗1 t > z1 t, 4.28 z∗1 t < z1 t.

By hypothesis H8 , there exist constants αi , i 2, 3 and T ∗ > T such that Bi t ≥ αi > 0, i 2, 3, for t ≥ T ∗ . 4.33 Integrating both sides of 4.32 on interval T ∗ , t yields V t 3 t i2 T∗ Bi tz∗i t − zi tds ≤ V T ∗ . 4.34 International Journal of Differential Equations 25 It follows from 4.33 and 4.34 that 3 t i2 T∗ Bi tz∗i t − zi tds ≤ V T ∗ < ∞, for t ≥ T ∗ . 4.35 Since z∗i t and zi t i 2, 3 are bounded for t ≥ T ∗ , so |z∗i t − zi t| i 2, 3 are uniformly continuous on T ∗ , ∞.

The proof of Theorem 4.4 is complete. 5.
