Global stability in a class of prey-predator models

Abstract

Global stability is established in a class of prey-predator models. This includes a prey-predator model in which the predator has Type 2 functional response and no intraspecific interactions. Two simple examples demonstrate that Kolmogoroff’s theorem does not apply to some members of this class of models.
