   In this paper, by using the contraction mapping principle and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, we established a set of easily applicable criteria for the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of positive periodic solution and positive almost periodic solution of a neutral multi-species Logarithmic population model with multiple delays and impulses. The results improve and generalize the known ones in [1], as an application, we also give an example to illustrate the feasibility of our main results.

These perturbations bring sudden changes to the system. Systems with such sudden perturbations involving impulsive differential equations have attracted the interest of many researchers in the past twenty years [12-20], since they provide a natural description of several real processes subject to certain perturbations whose duration is negligible in comparison with the duration of the process. Such processes are often investigated in various fields of science and technology such as physics, population dynamics, ecology, biological systems, optimal control, etc. For details, see [21,22]. Recently, the corresponding theory for impulsive functional differential equations has been studied by many authors [23-25]. However there are few published papers discussing the impulsive neutral multispecies Logarithmic population model. Our method is different from that in [1,9].</p><p>In this paper, we investigate the existence, uniqueness of the positive periodic solution of the following neutral multi-species Logarithmic population system with multiple delays and impulses</p><disp-formula id="scirp.33396-formula27464"><label>(1.5)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="12-2310137\6ff71085-d60f-4a69-af98-498d54cb6973.jpg"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>where <img src="12-2310137\95c41960-41bd-49fe-9e50-1da446be8f51.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\a9abade1-3bf7-44c8-be27-67dd0ffe3475.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\0e21c6ce-9021-4b32-b69d-b3cf118ee09b.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\fcd0baf9-0cc3-45ed-91a8-a0bd47a8f4f4.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\e4fa37cf-83a1-466a-933c-2f8b0f59001c.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\f5372ccf-047d-494f-828f-f4f4c1abfdae.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\93f63722-fd74-47ad-bc2c-2e7b5aa17822.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\4abf2a54-dfc8-4063-926a-a91b3f066b32.jpg" /> <img src="12-2310137\07febe4e-6847-4062-985e-6d6df0a70d92.jpg" /> are all continuous functions with<img src="12-2310137\c7496e66-566f-404f-a8f1-c38617e9de75.jpg" />, <img src="12-2310137\56a1085c-6180-45f6-83fb-5643dcab5827.jpg" />,<img src="12-2310137\4c543e40-5dd4-4a83-a626-55dfc1181c80.jpg" />.

In the following section, some definitions and some useful lemmas are listed.

After that, by using contraction mapping principle, we derive some sufficient conditions which ensure the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solution (positive almost periodic solution) of system (1.5) and (1.6). In the fourth section, we derive a set of easily verifiable criteria for the global attractivity of the positive periodic solution (almost periodic solution) of (1.5) and (1.6) by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Finally, we give an example to show our results. Here, We must point out, the idea of introducing parameters is stimulated by the recent works of [1,26, 27]. However, to the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first time such a technique is applied to the impulsive neutral delays ecosystem.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.
