Abstract
A tri-trophic food chain model with strong allee effect in prey species considering the rate parameters to be time dependent has been analyzed in this article. The energy flow is from bottom level to higher trophic level. By utilizing the Mawhin’s coincidence degree theorem and then by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function it has been shown that the non-autonomous system has a globally attractive positive periodic solution if some sufficient conditions are satisfied. Finally, the paper ends with a conclusion.
