Global stability and persistence of simple food chains

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to develop criteria for which a simple food-chain model of intermediate type and of arbitrary length has a globally stable positive equilibrium and to develop criteria under which such a food chain exhibits uniform persistence. The same techniques are used to obtain conditions for a model of a predator-prey system with mutual interference of the predator to possess a globally stable positive equilibrium.
