Existence and Uniqueness of Positive (Almost) Periodic Solutions for a Neutral Multi-Species Logarithmic Population Model with Multiple Delays and Impulses ()
1. Introduction
Recently, there are more works on the periodic solution of neutral type Logistic models or Lotka-Volterra models (see [2-7] for details). Only a little scholars considered the neutral Logarithmic model (see [1,8-10]). In [8], Li had studied the following single species neutral Logarithmic model:
(1.1)
He had established a set of easily applicable criteria for the existence of positive periodic solution of system (1.1) by applying the continuation theorem of the coincidence degree theory which proposed in [11] by Mawhin. In [9], Lu and Ge employed an abstract continuous theorem of k-set contractive operator to investigate the following equation:
(1.2)
They established some criteria to guarantee the existence of positive periodic solutions of system (1.2). In [10], Chen studied the following neutral multi-species Logarithmic population model:
(1.3)
By using the method of fixed point theory and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, a set of easily applicable criteria are established for the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of positive periodic solution (positive almost periodic solution) for system (1.3).
In [1], Wang et al. had investigated the existence, uniqueness of the positive periodic solution of the following neutral multi-species Logarithmic population model:
(1.4)
By using an abstract continuous theorem of k-set contractive operator, the criteria is established for the existence, global attractivity of positive periodic solutions for model (1.4).
On the other hand, there are some other perturbations in the real world such as fires and floods that are not suitable to be considered continually. These perturbations bring sudden changes to the system. Systems with such sudden perturbations involving impulsive differential equations have attracted the interest of many researchers in the past twenty years [12-20], since they provide a natural description of several real processes subject to certain perturbations whose duration is negligible in comparison with the duration of the process. Such processes are often investigated in various fields of science and technology such as physics, population dynamics, ecology, biological systems, optimal control, etc. For details, see [21,22]. Recently, the corresponding theory for impulsive functional differential equations has been studied by many authors [23-25]. However there are few published papers discussing the impulsive neutral multispecies Logarithmic population model. Our method is different from that in [1,9].
In this paper, we investigate the existence, uniqueness of the positive periodic solution of the following neutral multi-species Logarithmic population system with multiple delays and impulses
(1.5)
where are all continuous functions with, ,. And, ,. We consider (1.5) together with the initial conditions
(1.6)
For the ecological justification of (1.5) and the similar types refer to [1,8-10].
Throughout this paper, we make the following notations:
Let be a constant and
with the norm defined by;
with the norm defined by.
Then are Banach spaces.
For the sake of generality and convenience, we always make the following fundamental assumptions:
(H1), , , , , are all positive periodic continuous functions with period, and are positive continuously differentiable -periodic functions. Furthermore, , are positive - periodic continuous functions such that, , and exists;
(H2) are fixed impulsive points with;
(H3) is a real sequence such that, is an -periodic function;
(H4), , , , , are all almost periodic continuous functions with period on R, and are positive continuously differentiable almost periodic functions such that
where
(H5), are positive continuously differentiable almost periodic functions such that, , and exists, are fixed impulsive points with;
(H6) is a real sequence such that, is an almost periodic continuous function.
The outline of the paper is as follows. In the following section, some definitions and some useful lemmas are listed. In the third section, we first introduce a transformation, where some adjustable real parameters 0 are introduced. After that, by using contraction mapping principle, we derive some sufficient conditions which ensure the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solution (positive almost periodic solution) of system (1.5) and (1.6). In the fourth section, we derive a set of easily verifiable criteria for the global attractivity of the positive periodic solution (almost periodic solution) of (1.5) and (1.6) by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Finally, we give an example to show our results. Here, We must point out, the idea of introducing parameters is stimulated by the recent works of [1,26, 27]. However, to the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first time such a technique is applied to the impulsive neutral delays ecosystem.
2. Preliminaries
In order to obtain the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution for system (1.1) and (1.2), we first give some definitions and lemmas:
Definition 2.1 ([21]) A function is said to be a positive solution of (1.5) and (1.6), if the following conditions are satisfied:
1) is absolutely continuous on each
2) for each and exist and
3) satisfies the first equation of (1.1) and (1.2) for almost everywhere (for short a.e.) in and satisfies for, .
Definition 2.2 Let be a strictly positive periodic solution (almost periodic solution) of (1.5) and (1.6). We say is globally attractive if any other solution of (1.5) and (1.6) has the property:
We can easily get the following Lemma 2.1.
Lemma 2.1 The region

Proof. In view of biological population,we obtain By the system (1.5), we have
and
Then the solution of (1.5) is positive.
Under the above hypotheses (H1)-(H3), I consider the neutral non-impulsive system
(2.1)
with initial conditions:
(2.2)
where
(2.3)
By a solution of (2.1) and (2.2), it means an absolutely continuous function, , defined on that satisfies (2.1) a.e., for t ≥ 0, and, on.
The following lemmas will be used in the proofs of our results, The proof of the first lemma is similar to that of Theorem 1 in [20].
Lemma 2.2 Suppose that (H1)-(H3) hold. Then 1) if is a solution of (2.1) and (2.2) on, then

2) if is a solution of (1.5) and (1.6) on, then

Therefore
and so, from (2.9) it follows:
The proof is complete.

where
Proof. Similar to the proof of Lemma 2.5, we omit it here.
3. Main Theorem
Here, we take the transformation, then (2.1) can be rewritten in the following form
(3.1)
Obviously, the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of positive periodic solution (almost periodic solution) of system (1.5) is equivalent to the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of periodic solution (almost periodic solution) of system (3.1).
For, let us consider the equation
(3.2)
Since, , it follows that the linear system of system (3.2)
(3.3)
admits exponential dichotomies on R, and so, system (3.3) has a unique continuous periodic solution, which can be expressed as
(3.4)

Our next theorem concerned with the existence of unique positive almost periodic solution of systems (1.5) and (1.6).
Let be any continuously differentiable almost periodic function, and consider equation,

with the norm, obviously, C is a Banach space. For any continuously almost periodic function we know that defined by (3.19) is also a continuously almost periodic function. Now define the mapping as follows:
(3.21)
Then similarly to the prove of Theorem 3.1, we could prove that under the assumptions of Theorem 3.2, the mapping is a contract mapping, and so system (3.19) has a unique fixed point. and so,
is the unique positive almost periodic solution of system (2.1), from Lemma 2.2,
is the unique positive almost periodic solution of system (1.5). The proof is complete.

4. Global Asymptotic Stability
In this section, we devote ourselves to the study of the global attractivity of periodic solutions (almost periodic solutions) of system (1.5), (1.6) and (3.22) (which is a special case of system (1.5) and (1.6) without impulse). Now, we state our main results of this section as follows:
