## Positive periodic solutions of discrete Lotka-Volterra competition systems with state dependent and distributed delays.(English)Zbl 1125.39006

The author uses a fixed point theorem for strict set-contractions in cones, in order to establish existence of positive periodic solutions for a discrete competitive Lotka-Volterra system with state-dependent and distributed delays, namely
$\Delta x_i(n) = x_i(n) \left[ F_i(x)(n) - \sum_{j=1}^pb_{ij}(n)\sum_{\theta=-T_{ij}}^0H_{ij}(\theta)x_j(n+\theta) \right]$
for $$1\leq i\leq p$$ with functionals
$F_i(x)(n):=a_i(n)-\sum_{j=1}^p a_{ij}(n)x_j(f_{ij}(n,x_1(n),\dots,x_p(n))).$
