However it is important, in practice, to consider a randomized model based on (1.1). This paper discusses the existence, uniqueness, and global stability of positive solutions to the randomized food-limited population model with intensity a 2,

where B(t) is the one-dimensional standard Brownian motion with B(0) = 0, t > 0 with N(0) = No, and No is a random variable satisfying 0 < No < K. It is reasonable to assume that No is independent of B(t). By the Ito interpretation, equation (1.2) is equivalent to
dN(t) = N ( t )
[L~¥C-~-~(t)J K-N(t)] (r dt + a d B ( t ) ).
(1.3)
It is known that the simple population growth randomized model is of the form (see [4,5])
N(t) = (~ + ~(t))
x(t),
t > 0,
~ > 0.
(1.4)
Equation (1.4) is also said to be a risky investment model, where N ( t ) is the price at time t. The existence, uniqueness, and stability of the above model may be depended solutions to the following stochastic differential equation: dx(t) = f ( x ( t ) , t) dt + g(x(t), t) dB(t),
t > 0;
(1.5)
see also [4,5]. If both f and g are continuous functions, and they satisfy the local Lipschitz condition and the linear growth condition, then equation (1.5) has a unique continuous solution x(t) on t _> 0 (cf. [4,5]). We cannot directly apply the existence and uniqueness results of [4,5] to equation (1.3), since we search for positive solutions. The main results about equation (1.3) are given as follows. THEOREM 1. There exists a uniqueness uniformly continuous positive solution to equation (1.3) for any initial value N(O) = No with 0 < No < K. The following theorems are the global stability in mean and mean square of positive solutions to equation (1.3) by using Lyapunov functional. THEOREM 2. Let N(t) be a continuous positive solution to equation (1.3) for any initial value N(O) = No with 0 < No < K. ](fr > (1/2)a 2, then E[N(t)] -+ K when t ~ +oo. THEOREM 3. Let N ( t ) be a continuous positive solution to equation (1.3) for any initial value N(O) = No with 0 < No < K. If r > c~2, then
lira E [(~¢(t) - K) 2] = 0.

2. P R O O F OF MAIN RESULTS The following lemma is needed for the proofs of Theorems 2 and 3. LEMMA 2.1. (See [6].) Let f be a nonnegative function defined on [0, oc) such that f is integrable on [0, oc) and is uniformly continuous on [0, co). Then limt~+oo f(t) = O. Let N(t) be a solution of (1.3). It is obvious that N = 0 and N = K are solutions of (1.3). If N(t) ~ 0 and N(t) ~ K, by Ito's formula, dln ~ - N

Since N(0) = No and 0 < No < K, then C1 =- No/(K - No), so we yield g(t) = K 1 1 4- (K/No - 1)e -[f~(K/(K+CN(s)))(r-(1/2)a2) ds+c~dB(s)+(l+C/2)(N(s)a2/(K+CN(s)))ds]'

and 0 < N(t) < K, PROOF OF THEOREM

then x(t) = l n

By the same arguments for getting (2.1), (1.3) is reformed as 1 + eZ(t)[( dx(t) = l + ( C + l ) e X ( t )

Then both f and 9 are bounded and continuous functions, and they satisfy the local Lipschitz condition and the linear growth condition. It is known (cf. [41 or I5]) that equation (2.5) has a unique continuous solution x(t) on t > 0 with initial value x(0) = x0. Set N(t) = K(e~(t)/(1 + eX(t))), then 0 < N(t) < K and N(t) is a positive continuous solution of (1,3), since

In fact, since the solution N(t) of equation (1.3) satisfies 0 < N(t) < K, we can see N(t)(K N ( t ) ) / ( K + CN(t)} is bounded and satisfies the Lipschitz condition, and for every p > 0, E[NP(t)] < oo. By Mao [7, Lemma 2.4], almost every samp]e path of N(t) is uniformly continuous on t > 0. Next we prove the uniqueness of solutions. Let Nl(t) and ~%(t) be solutions with initial value N~(0) : N2(0) = No and 0 < No < K. It follows from (2.3) that 0 < N{(t) < K, i : 1,2. Then

Let w(t) = f to u(s)ds. Then w'(t) < A(t)w(t). Hence,
w(t) < w(o)J~ A(s)~ Since w(0) = 0, then w(t) = 0 and so u(t) = 0 for all t > 0. Hence,
P[INI(t)-N2(t)I=O ,
for all t e q N [ 0 , ~ ) ] = 1,
where Q denote the rational numbers. By continuity of t ~ tNl(t) - N½(t)] it follows that
P[INl(t) - N2(t)l = O,
for all t E [0, c~)] = 1,
and the uniqueness is proved. Thus we complete the proof of Theorem 1. PROOF OF THEOREM 2. Let N(t) be a solution with initial value N(0) = No and 0 < No < K. It follows from (2.3) that 0 < N(t) < K on t >_ 0. We define a Lyapunov function V(t) by
V(t) = In K - In N(t),
t _> 0.
By Ito's formula, we have
