THE PERSISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS IN A NONLOCAL PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH A SHIFTING HABITAT

In this paper,we mainly study the propagation properties of a nonlocal dispersal predator-prey system in a shifting environment.It is known that Choi et al.[J Differ Equ,2021,302:807-853]studied the persistence or extinction of the prey and of the predator separately in various moving frames.In particular,they achieved a complete picture in the local diffusion case.However,the question of the persistence of the prey and of the predator in some intermediate moving frames in the nonlocal diffusion case was left open in Choi et al.'s paper.By using some a prior estimates,the Arzelà-Ascoli theorem and a diagonal extraction process,we can extend and improve the main results of Choi et al.to achieve a complete picture in the nonlocal diffusion case.

Dynamical Behavior of Discrete Ratio-Dependent Predator-Prey System

In this paper, we propose a discrete ratio-dependent predator-prey system. The stability of the fixed points of this model is studied. At the same time, it is shown that the discrete model undergoes fold bifurcation and flip bifurcation by using bifurcation theory and the method of approximation by a flow. Numerical simulations are presented not only to demonstrate the consistence with our theoretical analyses, but also to exhibit the complex dynamical behaviors, such as the cascade of period-doubling bifurcation in period-2 and the chaotic sets. The Maximum Lyapunov exponents are numerically computed to confirm further the complexity of the dynamical behaviors. These results show that the direct discrete method has more rich dynamic behaviors than the discrete model obtained by Euler method.

PERSISTENCE AND THE GLOBAL DYNAMICS OF THE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A RATIODEPENDENT PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH A CROWDING TERM IN THE PREY EQUATION

This paper deals with the global dynamical behaviors of the positive solutions for a parabolic type ratio-dependent predator-prey system with a crowding term in the prey equation, where it is assumed that the coefficient of the functional response is less than the coefficient of the intrinsic growth rates of the prey species. We demonstrated some special dynamical behaviors of the positive solutions of this system which the persistence of the coexistence of two species can be obtained when the crowding region in the prey equation only is designed suitably. Furthermore, we can obtain that under some conditions, the unique positive steady state solution of the system is globally asymptotically stable.

Dynamics and response reshaping of nonlinear predator-prey system undergoing random abrupt disturbances

An actual ecological predator-prey system often undergoes random environmental mutations owing to the impact of natural disasters and man-made destruction, which may destroy the balance between the species. In this paper,the stochastic dynamics of the nonlinear predator-prey system considering random environmental mutations is investigated, and a feedback control strategy is proposed to reshape the response of the predator-prey system against random abrupt environmental mutations. A delayed Markov jump system(MJS) is established to model such a predator-prey system. A novel first integral is constructed which leads to better approximation solutions of the ecosystem. Then, by applying the stochastic averaging method based on this novel first integral, the stochastic response of the predator-prey system is investigated, and an analytical feedback control is designed to reshape the response of the ecosystem from the disturbed state back to the undisturbed one.Numerical simulations finally illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed procedure.

POSITIVE STEADY STATES AND DYNAMICS FOR A DIFFUSIVE PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH A DEGENERACY

In this article, we consider positive steady state solutions and dynamics for a spatially heterogeneous predator-prey system with modified Leslie-Gower and Holling-Type II schemes. The heterogeneity here is created by the degeneracy of the intra-specific pressures for the prey. By the bifurcation method, the degree theory, and a priori estimates, we discuss the existence and multiplicity of positive steady states. Moreover, by the comparison argument, we also discuss the dynamical behavior for the diffusive predator-prey system.

The Stability of Holling Type IV Predator-Prey System with and without Delay

The present paper is concerned with the Holling type IV predator-prey system with diffusion.By analyzing the characteristic equation associated with the positive equilibrium,the conditions for the asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is obtained.For the system without delay,it has been shown that the positive equilibrium is stable in certain region of the parameter plane.However,the introducing of the delay can lead to the loss of the stability.We find that in the region where the positive equilibrium is stable for the system without delay,there exists a critical value of the delay and the positive equilibrium is stable when the delay is less than this critical value and becomes unstable when the delay is greater than it.

Hopf Bifurcation of Delayed Predator-prey System with Reserve Area for Prey and in the Presence of Toxicity

A kind of three species delayed predator-prey system with reserve area for prey and in the presence of toxicity is proposed in this paper. Local stability of the coexistence equilibrium of the system and the existence of a Hopf bifurcation is established by choosing the time delay as the bifurcation parameter. Explicit formulas to determine the direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcation are obtained by means of the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate the obtained results.

Analysis of a Stochastic Ratio-Dependent Predator-Prey System with Markovian Switching and Lévy Jumps

In this paper, the dynamics of a stochastic ratio-dependent predator-prey system with markovian switching and Lévy noise is studied. Firstly, we show the existence condition of global positive solution under the given positive initial value. Secondly, sufficient conditions for system extinction and persistence are obtained through some assumptions. Then, the sufficient conditions of stochastically persistence are obtained by combining stochastic analysis technique and M-matrix analysis. In addition, under appropriate conditions, we demonstrate the existence of a unique stationary distribution for a system without Lévy jumps. Finally, the empirical and Mlistein methods are used to verify the theoretical results through numerical simulation.

POSITIVE STEADY STATES OF A DIFFUSIVE PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH PREDATOR CANNIBALISM

The purpose of this paper is to investigate positive steady states of a diffusive predator-prey system with predator cannibalism under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. With the help of implicit function theorem and energy integral method, nonexistence of non-constant positive steady states of the system is obtained, whereas coexistence of non-constant positive steady states is derived from topological degree theory. The results indicate that if dispersal rate of the predator or prey is sufficiently large, there is no nonconstant positive steady states. However, under some appropriate hypotheses, if the dispersal rate of the predator is larger than some positive constant, for certain ranges of dispersal rates of the prey, there exists at least one non-constant positive steady state.

The Dynamical Behavior of a Predator-Prey System with Holling Type II Functional Response and Allee Effect

In this paper, we mainly considered the dynamical behavior of a predator-prey system with Holling type II functional response and Allee-like effect on predator, including stability analysis of equilibria and Hopf bifurcation. Firstly, we gave some sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence, the local and global stability of equilibria as well as non-existence of limit cycles. By using the cobweb model, some cases about the existence of interior equilibrium are also illustrated with numerical outcomes. These existence and stability conclusions of interior equilibrium are also suitable in corresponding homogeneous reaction-diffusion system subject to the Neumann boundary conditions. Secondly, we theoretically deduced that our system has saddle-node bifurcation, transcritical bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation under certain conditions. Finally, for the Hopf bifurcation, we choose d as the bifurcation parameter and presented some numerical simulations to verify feasibility and effectiveness of the theoretical derivation corresponding to the existence of yk, respectively. The Hopf bifurcations are supercritical and limit cycles generated by the critical points are stable.

The Dynamical Behavior of a Certain Predator-Prey System with Holling Type II Functional Response

In this paper we analytically and numerically consider the dynamical behavior of a certain predator-prey system with Holling type II functional response, including local and global stability analysis, existence of limit cycles, transcritical and Hopf bifurcations. Mathematical theory derivation mainly focuses on the existence and stability of equilibrium point as well as threshold conditions for transcritical and Hopf bifurcation, which can in turn provide a theoretical support for numerical simulation. Numerical analysis indicates that theoretical derivation results are correct and feasible. In addition, it is successful to show that the dynamical behavior of this predator-prey system mainly depends on some critical parameters and mathematical relationships. All these results are expected to be meaningful in the study of the dynamic complexity of predatory ecosystem.
