Existence and global stability of periodic solutions of a discrete ratio-dependent food chain model with delay

By using the continuation theorem base on Gaines and Mawhin's coincidence degree, sufficient and realistic conditions are obtained for the global existence of positive periodic solutions for a discrete time nonautonomous food chain model, and sufficient conditions for the global stability of positive periodic solutions are also obtained. Some known results are extended.
