Abstract
The existence and the global stability of positive periodic solutions
of a discrete competition model is studied. The model incorporates time delays and allows for a fluctuating environment. By means of some standard procedures of the
topological degree method and the construction of a suitable Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the existence and the global stability of positive periodic solutions of the above systems.
