Abstract

A generalized Nicholson blowflies model with harvesting or immigration and random effect is considered. We discuss the existence of positive global solution and provide the estimate on the lower bound of the Lyapunov exponent. Moreover, we show that the nontrivial equilibrium solution is mean square exponential stability and stable in probability. We prove several results using techniques of stochastic calculus. It is evident from the obtained conditions that the noise plays an important role in all qualitative properties of the solution. Numerical simulations are also provided in order to validate the analytical findings. The results are new and compliments the existing ones.
