Abstract. The paper examines the stability problem of biological, economic and other processes modeled by the Lotka-Volterra equations with delay. The difference between studied equations and the known ones is that the adaptability functions and the coefficients of the relative change of the interacting subjects or objects are non-linear and take into account variable delay in the action of factors affecting the number of subjects or objects. Moreover, these functions admit the existence of equilibrium positions’ set that is finite in a bounded domain. The stability study of three types of equilibrium positions is carried out using direct analysis of perturbed equations and construction of Lyapunov functionals that satisfy conditions of well-known theorems. Corresponding sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability including global stability are derived, as well as instability and attraction conditions of these positions.

Key Words: Lotka-Volterra model, delay differential equations, equilibrium position, stability
