Competitive exclusion is proved for a discrete-time, size-structured, nonlinear matrix model of m-species competition in the chemostat. The winner is the population able to grow at the lowest nutrient concentration. This extends the results of earlier work of the first author [11] where the case $m = 2$ was treated.
Keywords: size-structured model, competitive exclusion., discrete-time, Chemostat.
