Dynamic Behaviors of a General Discrete Nonautonomous System of Plankton Allelopathy with Delays by Yaoping Chen, Fengde Chen, Zhong Li

“…Next, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, we obtain a set of sufficient conditions which guarantee the global attractivity of the two species. After that, by constructing an extinction-type Lyapunov functional, we show that under some suitable assumptions, one species will be driven to extinction. …”
