Abstract

In this work we study the asymptotic behaviour of the following prey-predator system \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{split} &A'=\alpha f(t)A-\beta g(t)A^2-\gamma AP\\ &P'=\delta h(t)P-\lambda m(t)P^2+\mu AP, \end{split} \right. \end{equation*} where functions $f,g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ are not necessarily bounded above. We also prove the existence of the pullback attractor and the permanence of solutions for any positive initial data and initial time, making a previous study of a logistic equation with unbounded terms, where one of them can be negative for a bounded interval of time. The analysis of a non-autonomous logistic equation with unbounded coefficients is also needed to ensure the permanence of the model.
