Abstract
Verifiable criteria are established for the permanence and existence of positive periodic solutions of a delayed discrete predator-prey model with monotonic functional response. It is shown that the conditions that ensure the permanence of this system are similar to those of its corresponding continuous system. And the investigations generalize some well-known results. In particular, a more acceptant method is given to study the bounded discrete systems rather than the comparison theorem.
