Abstract. In this paper, by using Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we establish the existence of at least four positive periodic solutions for a discrete time Lotka-Volterra competitive system with harvesting terms. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
Keywords: discrete systems, Lotka-Volterra competitive models, coincidence degree, harvesting terms.
