1. Introduction

It is well known that Gompertz equation [1] describes the growth law for a single species. The model reads as

where is the density of the population, is a positive constant called the intrinsic growth rate, the positive constant is usually referred to as the environment carrying capacity or saturation level, and denotes relative growth rate.

Many systems in physics, chemistry, biology, and information science have impulsive dynamical behavior due to abrupt jumps at certain instants during the evolving processes. This dynamical behavior can be modeled by impulsive differential equations. The theory of impulsive differential systems has been developed by numerous mathematicians [2–4]. But more realistic models should include some of the past states of these systems, that is, ideally, a real system should be modeled by differential equations with time delays. Recently, the investigation of impulsive delay differential equations is beginning [5–7].

In this paper, we need to consider a function

which is called Holling III functional response. The coefficient is a positive constant and its biological meaning can be found in [8].

We introduce the model as follows:

where and are densities of the prey and the predator, respectively, is the Gomportz intrinsic growth rate of the prey in the absence of the predator, is the conversion rate, is the death rate of the predator, is mean length of the digest period, and represents impulsive harvest to preys by catching or pesticides at , .

The initial conditions for system (1.3) are

From the biological point of view, we only consider system (1.3) in the biological meaning region .

All outline of this paper is as follows. We give some basic knowledge in Section 2. In Section 3, using discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain the existence and global attractivity of the “predator-extinction” periodic solution. In Section 4, with the theory of delay and impulsive different equations, we obtain the sufficient condition for the permanence of the system. In the last section, we give the numerical simulation and discussion.

Definition 2.1. Let , then for , the upper right derivative of with respect to the impulsive differential system (1.3) is defined as The solution of system (1.3) is a piecewise continuous function. The smoothness properties of guarantee the global existence and uniqueness of the solution of system (1.3) [9].

Lemma 2.2 (see [9]). Considering the following impulsive differential inequalities: where and , are constants, then

3. “Predator-Extinction” Periodic Solution

3.1. Existence of a “Predator-Extinction” Periodic Solution

First, we begin analyzing the existence of a “predator-extinction” solution, in which predator is absent from the system, that is,

In this condition, we know the growth of the prey in the time-interval and give some basic properties of the following subsystem of (1.3):

For system (3.2), we let and obtain a linear nonhomogeneous impulsive equation

Solving the first equation of system (3.3) between pulses yields

For the second equation of system (3.3), using discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map yields

where . From (3.5), we can see that this difference system has an equilibrium , which implies that system (3.3) has a unique T-periodic solution

Since , then is the unique positive T-periodic solution of (3.2).

In the following, we will prove that is globally asymptotically stable. By Lemma 2.3, we find that any solution of (3.2) is ultimately upper bounded, so we need only to prove that

where is the periodic solution of system (3.3) Suppose that with .

3.2. Global Attractivity of the “Predator-Extinction” Periodic Solution

Denote that

Theorem 3.2. If , then the “predator-extinction” periodic solution of system (1.3) is globally attractive.

Proof. We denote that be any solution of system (1.3) with initial condition (1.4). From the second equation of system (1.3), we have that
We consider the following comparison equation: If , then ; according to Lemma 2.4, we obtain .

In the following, we suppose that . Since , we have that
Because the function is monotonically increasing with respect to , we choose a sufficiently small positive constant such that
Noting that for , then we consider the following comparison system:

There exist a positive integer and an arbitrarily small positive constant for all such that
From (3.16) and the second equation of system (1.3), for we have
Considering the following comparison equation: we can see (3.13), that is, ; according to Lemma 2.4, we obtain .
Since for all , by the comparison theorem in differential equation and the positivity of the solution, we have that as .
Next, we will prove that as . Without loss of generality, we may assume that for all . By the first equation of system (1.3), we have that
Then we have that as as , where is unique a positive solution of From Section 3.1, we obtain

4. Permanence

In the above section, we have proved that, when , , or , the “predator-extinction” periodic solution is globally attractive. But in natural world, the predator cannot be eradicated totally. In order to save resources, we need to keep the prey and predator coexisting when the prey does not bring about immense economic losses. Next, we will discuss the permanence of system (1.3).

Definition 4.1. System (1.3) is said to be uniformly persistent if there are positive constants and a finite time such that for all solutions with initial values , , , and hold for all .

Definition 4.2. System (1.3) is said to be permanent if there exists a compact region , such that every solution of system (1.3) with initial condition (1.4) will eventually enter and remain in region .
Denote that

Theorem 4.3. If , then there exist two positive constants and such that , for large enough, that is, system (1.3) is uniformly persistent.

Proof. Suppose that is any positive solution of system (1.3) with initial condition (1.4). From Lemma 2.3, we know that , .
Firstly, from the first equation of system (1.3), we know that . Now, we consider the following equation:
therefore we have that There exists a small enough such that, for sufficiently large ,
Secondly, we will find such that .
The second equation of system (1.3) may be rewritten as follows:
Define Calculating the derivative of along the solution of (1.3), it follows from (4.5) that
Since , then we can deduce that Hence, we choose two positive constants and small enough such that where In the following, we will find such that There are two cases.
(1) We claim that the inequality cannot hold for all ; otherwise, there is a positive constant such that for all .
From the first equation of system (1.3), we have that We have that , where is unique a positive solution of From Section 3.1, we have that
By comparison theory [11], for any , there exists a , for , such that From (4.7) and (4.14), we have that
Denote that
We show that for all . Otherwise, there exists a nonnegative constant such that , for , and .
Thus, from the second equation of (1.3) and (4.12), (4.14), we can see that which is a contradiction to . Hence we get that for all . Meanwhile, we can see that , which implies that , .
This is a contradiction to . Thus, for any positive constant , the inequality cannot hold for all .
(2) If holds for all large enough, then our aim is obtained. Otherwise, is oscillatory about . Let .
We will prove that . There exist two positive constants , such that and for .
When is large enough, the inequality holds true for .
Since is continuous and bounded and does not have impulsive effort, we conclude that is uniformly continuous. There exist a constant ( and is independent to ) such that for all .
If , then our aim is obtained.
If , from the second equation of (1.3), we have that for , and then we have that for
