“…where A i is the ith row of the N × N matrix A, Jansen [11] (see also [7,Ch.13]) proved that (1) is permanent if there is a vector q ∈ intR N + such that the inequality q T (r + Ax) > 0 holds for every fixed pointx ∈ ∂R N + . Examples of permanence for special delayed Kolmogorov systems are given by Chen, Lu and Wang [5], Hou [8]- [10], Li and Teng [13], Liu and Chen [14], Lu, Lu and Enatsu [15], Mukherjee [16], Teng [19], and the references therein. In particular, for autonomous Lotka-Volterra differential systems with multiple delays, sufficient conditions for permanence, which are easily checkable inequalities involving the constant coefficients of the system, were obtained in [15].…”
