ON CRITERIA FOR GLOBAL STABILITY OF N-DIMENSIONAL LOTKA-VOLTERRA SYSTEMS

This paper gives the conditions for the existence of a globally stable equi-librium of rz-dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems in the following cases: Lotka-Volterra chain systems and Lotka-Volterra modei between one and multispecies. The conditions obtained in this paper are much weaker than those in [6] and more easily verifiable in application. So the results can be applied to more general Lotka-Volterra models. At the same time, the existence and stability conditions of positive equilibrium points of the above systems are given.
