Abstract

In this paper we prove the existence of monotone heteroclinic solutions for the delayed Nicholson's blowflies model with harvesting: x(t)=δx(t)Hx(tσ)+ρx(tr)ex(tr). x'(t) = -\delta x(t) - Hx(t-\sigma) + \rho x(t-r)e^{-x(t-r)}. Under the condition 1<ρδ+He1 < \dfrac{\rho}{\delta+H} \leq e, we establish the connection between the equilibria 00 and ln(ρ/(δ+H))\ln(\rho/(\delta+H)) using the Wu and Zou monotone iteration method adapted for two delays (σr\sigma \neq r). The proof combines explicit upper and lower solutions construction with characteristic equation analysis, supported by numerical simulations.
