Abstract
This work presents a delayed two-species competitive model with interval biological parameters, in which each interspecific competition term suffers delay and saturation effect. Sufficient criteria for the existence, local and global asymptotic stability of the unique positive equilibrium are established, respectively. Our theoretical and simulated results show that under appropriate conditions the fuzziness of biological parameters plays a critical role in the stability properties of the system while time delays have little influence.
