摘要
Competitive systems defined by Lotka-Volterra equations where ri>0, aij>0, have been extensively studied in the literature. Much attention has been drawn to, among other things, the non-periodic oscillation phenomenon, or May-type trajectory as it is called by some authors, since the discovery of that kind of trajectories in competitive LotkaVolterra systems made by May and Leonard[2] . Recently, the same phenomenon was reported to be existing in prey-predator systems. In this paper it is clear that one can expect the appearance of such phenomenon in a broader class of Lotka-Volterra systems, namely quasi-competitive systems (i.e. ri >0, (aij/ajj)+(aji/aii)>0 in (I)), which cover both competitive and some prey-predator systems in addition to others. Conditions are established in terms of the parameters of the systems for the existence of stable equilibrium, periodic oscillation and non-periodic oscillation.
