title: Stability in Gilpin and Ayala's models of competition.
abstract: Simple and effective conditions for global stability in a class of models for m competing species are given. A numerical method is used to establish a large finite region of attraction for the feasible equilibrium in Gilpin and Ayala's model of two competing Drosophila populations.
