This paper is devoted to the study of almost periodic solutions of a discrete two-species competitive system. With the help of the methods of the Lyapunov function, some analysis techniques, and preliminary lemmas, we establish a criterion for the existence, uniqueness, and uniformly asymptotic stability of positive almost periodic solution of the system. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analytical results. 1. Introduction In recent years, many works have been done for the difference system (see [1–14] and the references cited therein) since the discrete time models governed by the difference equation are more appropriate than the continuous ones when the populations have a short life expectancy, nonoverlapping generations in the real world. In particular, Qin et al. [1] introduced the following discrete Lotka-Volterra competitive system: π₯1 (π + 1) = π₯1 (π) exp [π1 (π) − π1 (π) π₯1 (π) − π2 (π) π₯2 (π) ], 1 + π₯2 (π) π₯2 (π + 1) = π₯2 (π) exp [π2 (π) − π2 (π) π₯2 (π) − π1 (π) π₯1 (π) ], 1 + π₯1 (π) π = 0, 1, 2 . . . , investigated the permanence and global asymptotic stability of positive periodic solutions of system (1). Notice that the investigation of almost periodic solutions for difference equations is one of most important topics in the qualitative theory of difference equations due to the applications in biology, ecology, neural network, and so forth (see [10–14] in detail), and few work has been done previously on an almost periodic version which is corresponding to periodic system (1). In this paper, we will further investigate the existence, uniqueness, and uniformly asymptotic stability of positive almost periodic solution of the above almost periodic version. To this end, we assume that the coefficients of system (1) {ππ (π)}, {ππ (π)} and {ππ (π)} are bounded nonnegative almost periodic sequences. For the sake of simplicity and convenience in the following discussion, the notations below will be used throughout this paper: ππ = sup {π (π)} , π∈Z+ (1) where π₯π (0) > 0, π₯π (π) stand for the densities of species π₯π at the πth generation, ππ (π) represent the natural growth rates of species π₯π at the πth generation, ππ (π) are the intraspecific effects of the πth generation of species π₯π on own population, and ππ (π) measure the interspecific effects of the πth generation of species π₯π on species π₯π (π, π = 1, 2; π =ΜΈ π). They ππΏ = inf+ {π (π)} , π∈Z (2) where {π(π)} is a bounded sequence and Z+ = {0, 1, 2, . . .}. The remaining part of this paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we introduce some notations, definitions, and lemmas which are available for our main results. In Section 3, sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness, and uniformly asymptotic stability of positive almost periodic solution of system (1) are given.

Finally, we give some proofs of theorems in the appendices for convenience in reading this paper. π₯2∗ (π) is a relatively dense set in Z for all π > 0; that is, for any given π > 0, there exists an integer π(π) > 0 such that each discrete interval of length π(π) contains a π = π(π) ∈ πΈ{π, π₯} such that |π₯ (π + π) − π₯ (π)| < π, 2. Preliminaries ∀π ∈ Z. In this section, we will need some preparations and give some notations, definitions, and lemmas which will be useful for our main results. Denote by R, R+ , Z, and Z+ the sets of real numbers, nonnegative real numbers, integers, and nonnegative integers, respectively. R2 and Rπ denote the cone of 2-dimensional and π-dimensional real Euclidean space, respectively. π is called the π-translation number of π₯(π). Definition 1 (see [13]). A sequence π₯ : Z → Rπ is called an almost periodic sequence if the following π-translation set of π₯ σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨π (π + π, π₯) − π (π, π₯)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ < π, πΈ {π, π₯} := {π ∈ Z : |π₯ (π + π) − π₯ (π)| < π, ∀π ∈ Z} (3) (4) Definition 2 (see [13]). Let π : Z × D → Rπ , where D is an open set in Rπ . π(π, π₯) is said to be almost periodic in π uniformly for π₯ ∈ D, or uniformly almost periodic for short, if for any π > 0 and any compact set S in D there exists a positive integer π(π, S) such that any interval of length π(π, S) contains an integer π for which (5) for all π ∈ Z and all π₯ ∈ S. π is called the π-translation number of π(π, π₯). 3 1.22 1.22 1.2 1.2 1.18 1.18 1.16 1.16 1.14 1.14 π₯2∗ (π) π₯2∗ (π) Journal of Applied Mathematics 1.12 1.12 1.1 1.1 1.08 1.08 1.06 1.06 1.04 1.08 1.1 1.12 1.14 1.16 π₯1∗ (π) 1.18 1.2 1.04 1.08 1.22 1.1 1.12 1.25 1.25 1.2 1.2 1.15 1.15 1.1 1.2 1.22 1.1 1.05 1.05 1 1.25 1.18 (b) π₯2∗ (π) π₯2∗ (π) (a) 1.14 1.16 π₯1∗ (π) 1 1.25 1.2 1.15 π₯1∗( π) 1.1 1.05 0 20 40 60 80 100 1.2 1.15 π₯∗ 1 (π ) π (c) 1.1 1.05 700 720 740 760 780 800 π (d) Figure 2: Phase portrait.

Lemma 3 (see [13]). {π₯(π)} is an almost periodic sequence if and only if for any sequence {βπσΈ } ⊂ Z there exists a subsequence {βπ } ⊂ {βπσΈ } such that π₯(π + βπ ) converges uniformly on π ∈ Z as π → ∞. Furthermore, the limit sequence is also an almost periodic sequence. Consider the following almost periodic difference system: π₯ (π + 1) = π (π, π₯ (π)) , + π π ∈ Z+ , (6) π where π : Z × Sπ΅ → R , Sπ΅ = {π₯ ∈ R : βπ₯β < π΅}, and π(π, π₯) is almost periodic in π uniformly for π₯ ∈ Sπ΅ and is continuous in π₯. The product system of (6) is the following system: π₯ (π + 1) = π (π, π₯ (π)) , π¦ (π + 1) = π (π, π¦ (π)) , (7) and Zhang [14] obtained the following lemma. Lemma 4 (see [14]). Suppose that there exists a Lyapunov function π(π, π₯, π¦) defined for π ∈ Z+ , βπ₯β < π΅, βπ¦β < π΅ satisfying the following conditions: (i) π(βπ₯ − π¦β) ≤ π(π, π₯, π¦) ≤ π(βπ₯ − π¦β), where π, π ∈ πΎ with πΎ = {π ∈ πΆ(R+ , R+ ) : π(0) = 0 and π is increasing}; (ii) |π(π, π₯1 , π¦1 ) − π(π, π₯2 , π¦2 )| ≤ πΏ(βπ₯1 − π₯2 β + βπ¦1 − π¦2 β), where πΏ > 0 is a constant; (iii) Δπ(2.2) (π, π₯, π¦) ≤ −π½π(π, π₯, π¦), where 0 < π½ < 1 is a constant and Δπ(2.2) (π, π₯, π¦) = π (π + 1, π (π, π₯) , π (π, π¦)) − π (π, π₯, π¦) . (8) Moreover, if there exists a solution π(π) of system (6) such that βπ(π)β ≤ π΅∗ < π΅ for π ∈ Z+ , then there exists a unique uniformly asymptotically stable almost periodic solution π(π) of system (6) which satisfies βπ(π)β ≤ π΅∗ .

Lemma 5 (see [1]).

(11) , π = 1, 2. (9) Lemma 6 (see [1]). Suppose that system (1) satisfies the following assumptions: π1πΏ > π2π, π₯2∗ (π) (10) 3. Main Result From (9) and (11), we denote by Ω the set of all solutions (π₯1 (π), π₯2 (π)) of system (1) satisfying ππ ≤ π₯π (π) ≤ ππ , π = 1, 2 for all π ∈ Z+ . According to Lemma 4, we first prove that Journal of Applied Mathematics 5 there is a bounded solution of system (1), and then structure a suitable Lyapunov function for system (1). Theorem 7. If the assumptions in (10) hold, then Ω =ΜΈ Φ. A computation shows that π1πΏ − π2π = 1.1530 > 0, Theorem 8. If the assumptions in (10) are satisfied, furthermore, 0 < π½ < 1, where π½ = min{π 1 , π 2 }, and − 2 (1 + π2 ) 2 (1 + π1 ) π 2 = 2π2πΏ π2 − π2π2 π22 − − (1 + π1ππ1 ) π2ππ2 (1 + π2ππ2 ) π1ππ1 − π1π2 π12 4 (1 + π1 ) , (1 + π2ππ2 ) π1ππ1 2 (1 + π2 ) (12) 2 (1 + π1 ) (1 + π1ππ1 ) π2ππ2 − π2π2 π22 (14) and moreover, we have The proof of Theorem 7 is given in Appendix A. π 1 = 2π1πΏ π1 − π1π2 π12 − π2πΏ − π1π = 1.0900 > 0, π 1 = 0.3515, π 2 = 0.2502, (15) that is, 0 < π½ = min{π 1 , π 2 } = 0.2502 < 1. It is easy to see that the assumptions of Theorem 8 are satisfied. Hence, in system (13) there exists a unique uniformly asymptotically stable positive almost periodic solution. From Figure 1, it is easy to see that there exists a positive almost periodic solution (π₯1∗ (π‘), π₯2∗ (π‘)), and the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional phase portraits of almost periodic system (13) are revealed in Figure 2, respectively. Figure 3 shows that any positive solution (π₯1 (π), π₯2 (π)) tends to the almost periodic solution (π₯1∗ (π), π₯2∗ (π)). Appendices 4 (1 + π2 ) A. Proof of Theorem 7 , then there exists a unique uniformly asymptotically stable almost periodic solution of system (1) which is bounded by Ω for all π ∈ Z+ . The proof of Theorem 8 is given in Appendix B. Clearly, by an inductive argument we have from system (1) that π−1 π₯1 (π) = π₯1 (0) exp ∑ [π1 (π) − π1 (π) π₯1 (π) − π=0 π−1 π₯2 (π) = π₯2 (0) exp ∑ [π2 (π) − π2 (π) π₯2 (π) − π=0 4. Numerical Simulations In this section, we give the following example to check the feasibility of the assumptions of Theorem 8. Example 9. Consider the following discrete system: π1 (π) π₯1 (π) ]. 1 + π₯1 (π) (A.1) According to Lemmas 5 and 6, for any solution (π₯1 (π), π₯2 (π)) of system (1) and an arbitrarily small constant π > 0, there exists π0 sufficiently large such that π1 − π ≤ π₯1 (π) ≤ π1 + π, π₯1 (π + 1) π2 (π) π₯2 (π) ], 1 + π₯2 (π) π2 − π ≤ π₯2 (π) ≤ π2 + π, ∀π ≥ π0 . = π₯1 (π) exp [1.20 − 0.02 sin (√2ππ) (A.2) − (1.05 + 0.01 sin (√2ππ)) π₯1 (π) − (0.025 + 0.002 cos (√2ππ)) π₯2 (π) 1 + π₯2 (π) ], π₯2 (π + 1) = π₯2 (π) exp [1.15 − 0.02 cos (√2ππ) − (1.02 + 0.02 cos (√2ππ)) π₯2 (π) − (0.035 + 0.005 sin (√3ππ)) π₯1 (π) 1 + π₯1 (π) ]. (13) Set {ππ } be any positive integer sequence such that ππ → +∞ as π → +∞, we can show that there exists a subsequence of {ππ } still denoted by {ππ }, such that π₯π (π+ππ ) → π₯π∗ (π), π = 1, 2 uniformly in π on any finite subset πΆ of Z+ as π → +∞, where πΆ = {π1 , π2 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ππ }, πβ ∈ Z+ (β = 1, 2 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ π), and π is a finite number. As a matter of fact, for any finite subset πΆ ⊂ Z+ , ππ + πβ > π0 , β = 1, 2 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ π, when π is large enough. Therefore, ππ − π ≤ π₯π (π + ππ ) ≤ ππ + π, π = 1, 2; that is, {π₯π (π + ππ )} are uniformly bounded for π large enough. Now, for π1 ∈ πΆ, we can choose a subsequence {ππ(1) } of {ππ } such that {π₯1 (π1 +ππ(1) )} and {π₯2 (π1 +ππ(1) )} uniformly converge on Z+ for π large enough. Analogously, for π2 ∈ πΆ, we can also choose a subsequence {ππ(2) } of {ππ(1) } such that {π₯1 (π2 + ππ(2) )} and {π₯2 (π2 + ππ(2) )} uniformly converge on Z+ for π large enough. 6 Journal of Applied Mathematics Repeating the above process, for ππ ∈ πΆ, we get a subsequence {ππ(π) } of {ππ(π−1) } such that {π₯1 (ππ +ππ(π) )} and {π₯2 (ππ + ππ(π) )} uniformly converge on Z+ for π large enough. Now, we choose the sequence {ππ(π) } which is a subsequence of {ππ } denoted by {ππ }; then, for all π ∈ πΆ, we obtain that π₯π (π + ππ ) → π₯π∗ (π), π = 1, 2 uniformly in π ∈ πΆ as π → +∞. Hence, the conclusion is valid by the arbitrary of πΆ. Recall the almost periodicity of {ππ (π)}, {ππ (π)} and {ππ (π)}, π = 1, 2, for the above sequence {ππ }, ππ → +∞ as π → +∞, there exists a subsequence denoted by {ππ } such that ππ (π + ππ ) σ³¨→ ππ (π) , ππ (π + ππ ) σ³¨→ ππ (π) , (A.3) Let π → +∞, we have π₯1∗ (π + πΌ) π+πΌ−1 = π₯1∗ (πΌ) exp ∑ [π1 (π) − π1 (π) π₯1∗ (π) − π=πΌ π2 (π) π₯2∗ (π) ], 1 + π₯2∗ (π) π₯2∗ (π + πΌ) π+πΌ−1 = π₯2∗ (πΌ) exp ∑ [π2 (π) − π2 (π) π₯2∗ (π) − π=πΌ π1 (π) π₯1∗ (π) ]. 1 + π₯1∗ (π) (A.6) Since πΌ is arbitrary, we know that (π₯1∗ (π), π₯2∗ (π)) is a solution of system (1) on Z+ , and ππ (π + ππ ) σ³¨→ ππ (π) , 0 < π1 − π ≤ π₯1∗ (π) ≤ π1 + π, as π → +∞ uniformly on Z+ . For any πΌ ∈ Z+ , we can assume that ππ + πΌ ≥ π0 for π large enough. Let π ∈ Z+ , by an inductive argument of system (1) from ππ + πΌ to π + ππ + πΌ, we obtain π₯1 (π + ππ + πΌ) 0 < π2 − π ≤ π₯2∗ (π) ≤ π2 + π, π+ππ +πΌ−1 π=ππ +πΌ 0 < π2 ≤ π₯2∗ (π) ≤ π2 , π2 (π) π₯2 (π) ], 1 + π₯2 (π) π₯2 (π + ππ + πΌ) (A.7) Notice that π is an arbitrarily small positive constant; it follows that 0 < π1 ≤ π₯1∗ (π) ≤ π1 , = π₯1 (ππ +πΌ) exp ∑ [π1 (π)−π1 (π) π₯1 (π)− ∀π ∈ Z+ . ∀π ∈ Z+ . (A.8) Thus, Ω =ΜΈ Φ. This completes the proof. π+ππ +πΌ−1 π (π) π₯1 (π) = π₯2 (ππ +πΌ) exp ∑ [π2 (π)−π2 (π) π₯2 (π)− 1 ]. 1 + π₯1 (π) π=π +πΌ π (A.4) B. Proof of Theorem 8 Denote π1 (π) = ln π₯1 (π), π2 (π) = ln π₯2 (π). It follows from system (1) that Thus, it derives that π₯1 (π + ππ + πΌ) π+πΌ−1 = π₯1 (ππ + πΌ) exp ∑ [π1 (π + ππ ) − π1 (π + ππ ) π₯1 (π + ππ ) π1 (π + 1) = π1 (π) + π1 (π) − π1 (π) ππ1 (π) − π2 (π) ππ2 (π) , 1 + ππ2 (π) π2 (π + 1) = π2 (π) + π2 (π) − π2 (π) ππ2 (π) − π1 (π) ππ1 (π) . 1 + ππ1 (π) (B.1) π=πΌ − π2 (π + ππ ) π₯2 (π + ππ ) ], 1 + π₯2 (π + ππ ) According to Theorem 7, we can see that the system (B.1) has a bounded solution (π1 (π), π2 (π)) satisfying π₯2 (π + ππ + πΌ) π+πΌ−1 = π₯2 (ππ + πΌ) exp ∑ [π2 (π + ππ ) − π2 (π + ππ ) π₯2 (π + ππ ) π=πΌ − π1 (π + ππ ) π₯1 (π + ππ ) ]. 1 + π₯1 (π + ππ ) ln π1 ≤ π1 (π) ≤ ln π1 , ln π2 ≤ π2 (π) ≤ ln π2 , (A.5) π ∈ Z+ . (B.2) Thus, |π1 (π)| ≤ π΄, |π2 (π)| ≤ π΅, where π΄ = max{| ln π1 |, | ln π1 |}, π΅ = max{| ln π2 |, | ln π2 |}.

Let us construct a Lyapunov function defined on Z+ × S × S as follows: 2 2 π (π, π, π) = (π1 (π) − π1 (π)) + (π2 (π) − π2 (π)) . (B.4) It is obvious that the norm βπ−πβ = |π1 (π)−π1 (π)|+|π2 (π)− π2 (π)| is equivalent to βπ − πβ∗ = [(π1 (π)−π1 (π))2 +(π2 (π)− π2 (π))2 ]1/2 ; that is, there are two constants πΆ1 > 0, πΆ2 > 0, such that πΆ1 βπ − πβ ≤ βπ − πβ∗ ≤ πΆ2 βπ − πβ , (B.5) then, 2 2 (πΆ1 βπ − πβ) ≤ π (π, π, π) ≤ (πΆ2 βπ − πβ) . (B.6) Let π, π ∈ πΆ(R+ , R+ ), π(π₯) = πΆ12 π₯2 , π(π₯) = πΆ22 π₯2 ; then, condition (i) of Lemma 4 is satisfied.

By the conditions of Theorem 8, we have 0 < π½ < 1, and hence, condition (iii) of Lemma 4 is satisfied. So, it follows from Lemma 4 that there exists a unique uniformly asymptotically stable almost periodic solution Journal of Applied Mathematics (π1∗ (π), π2∗ (π)) of system (B.1) which is bounded by S for all π ∈ Z+ ; that is, there exists a unique uniformly asymptotically stable almost periodic solution (π₯1∗ (π), π₯2∗ (π)) of system (1) which is bounded by Ω for all π ∈ Z+ .
