We examine the evolution of a universe comprising two interacting fluids, which interact via a term proportional to the product of their densities. In the case of two matter fluids it is shown that the ratio of the densities tends to a constant after an initial cooling-off period. We then obtain a complete solution for the cosmological constant (w = -1) scenario. Finally, we investigate the general case in which the dark energy equation of state is p = w*rho, where w is a constant, and show that periodic solutions can occur if w < -1. We further demonstrate that the ratio of the dark matter to dark energy densities is confined to a bounded interval, and that this ratio can be O(1) at infinitely many times in the history of the universe, thus solving the coincidence problem.
