Existence and internal structure of the deterministic attracting set for a random ant colonies model

This paper is concerned with the attracting set of an ant colonies model with bounded noisy perturbation. This perturbation is modeled by the well-known Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process and the arc tangent function. For the random model, we first verify the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution, and then prove the existence of the deterministic attracting set. Furthermore, in order to reveal more detailed information about the long-time behavior of the ant colonies system, we analyze the internal structure of the attracting set and provide some conditions under which coexistence (or extinction) of the ant species exists in the ant colonies system.
