Abstract
In this paper, we study a generalized Nicholson’s Blowflies model with feedback control and multiple time-varying delays. Under proper conditions, we employ a novel proof to establish some criteria to guarantee the global exponential convergence and permanence of this model. Moreover, we give two examples to illustrate our main results.
