Abstract
We show that the coexistence of different species in competition for a common resource may be substantially long when their growth functions are arbitrarily closed. The transient behavior is analyzed in terms of slow-fast dynamics. We prove that non-dominant species can first increase before decreasing, depending on their initial proportions.
