Abstract

By constructing suitable Liapunov functionals and estimating uniform upper and lower bounds of solutions, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global attractivity of positive periodic solutions of the delay differential system with feedback control dy/dt=y(t)F(t,y(tτ1(t)),,y(tτn(t)),u(tδ(t))), du/dt=η(t)u(t)+a(t)y(tσ(t)). When these results are applied to the periodic logistic equation with several delays and feedback control, some new results are obtained.
