Almost periodic solutions for Fox production harvesting model with delay

. By utilizing the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we shall prove that a Foxproduction harvesting model with delay has at least one positive almost periodic solution. Some pre-liminary assertions are provided prior to proving our main theorem. We construct a numerical examplealong with graphical representations to illustrate feasibility of the theoretical result.Keywords.

Let G(t,x) and F(t,x) be dened in theformF(t,x) = α(t) and G(t,x) = β(t)ln γ K(t)x(t), γ > 0then equation (1) becomesx ′ (t) = −α(t)x(t) +β(t)x(t)ln γ K(t)x(t), (2)where α(t) is a variable harvesting rate, β(t) is an intrinsic factor and K(t) is a varyingenvironmental carrying capacity. The positive parameter γ is referred to as an interac-tion parameter [1, 3, 4]. Indeed, if γ > 1 then intra–specic competition is high whereasif 0 < γ < 1 then the competition is low. For γ = 1, equation (2) reduces to a classical
