Permanence for non-autonomous food chain systems with delay

In this paper we first establish a new general criterion for the permanence of Kolmogorov-type systems of nonautonomous functional differential equations. Then, as applications of this criterion we study the permanence of a class of n-species general nonautonomous food chain systems with delay and new sufficient condition are established.
