In this paper, we improve contractivity conditions of solutions for the positive equilibrium N∗=1a+∑i=0mbiof the following differential equation with piecewise constant arguments: where r(t) is a nonnegative continuous function on [0,+∞), r(t)≢0, ∑i=0mbi>0, bi⩾0, i=0,1,2,…,m, and a+b0>∑i=1mbi. In particular, for the case a=0 and m⩾1, we really improve the known three type conditions of the contractivity for solutions of this model (see for example, [Y. Muroya, A sufficient condition on global stability in a logistic equation with piecewise constant arguments, Hokkaido Math. J. 32 (2003) 75–83]). For the other case a≠0 and m⩾1, under the condition ∑j=1mbj−2b0<a⩽(∑j=1mbj)/(1+b0/∑j=0mbj), the obtained result partially improves the known results on the contractivity of solutions for the positive equilibrium of this model given by the author [Y. Muroya, Persistence, contractivity and global stability in logistic equations with piecewise constant delays, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 270 (2002) 602–635] and others.
