On dynamics of generalized competitive and cooperative systems

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with n-dimensional generalized competitive or cooperative systems of ordinary differential equations. A result is established to show that the flow generated by a generalized cooperative and irreducible system is strongly monotone. Also, it is shown that an analogue of the Poincarè-Bendixon theorem holds for three dimensional generalized competitive and dissipative systems. Finally, we provide a generalized Smale's construction.
