Abstract

In this paper, a Lotka-Volterra type reaction-diffusion predator-prey model with stage structure for the prey and nonlocal delays due to gestation of the predator is investigated. In the case of a general domain, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global convergence of positive solutions of the proposed problem by using the energy function method. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.
