Abstract

In this paper, we further study the global attractivity of the positive equilibrium of the discrete Nicholson's blowflies model Nn+1Nn=δNn+pNnkeaNnk,n=0,1,2,. We obtain a new criterion for the positive equilibrium N to be a global attractor, which improve the corresponding results obtained by So and Yu (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 193 (1995), 233–244).
