Qualitative Properties of Equilibrium Point in a Discrete Predator-Prey Model

In this paper, the dynamic properties of a discrete predator-prey model are discussed. The properties of non-hyperbolic fixed points and hyperbolic fixed points of the model are analyzed. First, by using the classic Shengjin formula, we find the existence conditions for fixed points of the model. Then, by using the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations and matrix theory we indicate which points are hyperbolic and which are non-hyperbolic and the associated conditions.

INVASION TRAVELING WAVES FOR A DISCRETE DIFFUSIVE RATIO-DEPENDENT PREDATOR-PREY MODEL

This article is concerned with the existence of traveling wave solutions for a discrete diffusive ratio-dependent predator-prey model. By applying Schauder’s fixed point theorem with the help of suitable upper and lower solutions, we prove that there exists a positive constant c* such that when c > c* , the discrete diffusive predator-prey system admits an invasion traveling wave. The existence of an invasion traveling wave with c = c* is also established by a limiting argument and a delicate analysis of the boundary conditions.Finally, by the asymptotic spreading theory and the comparison principle, the non-existence of invasion traveling waves with speed c < c* is also proved.

Hopf Bifurcations in a Predator-Prey System of Population Allelopathy with Discrete Delay

A delayed Lotka-Volterra two-species predator-prey system of population allelopathy with discrete delay is considered. By linearizing the system at the positive equilibrium and analyzing the associated characteristic equation, the asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is investigated and Hopf bifurcations are demonstrated. Furthermore, the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem for functional differential equations (FDEs). Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out for illustrating the theoretical results.

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS AND GLOBAL ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY OF A DELAYED DISCRETE PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH HOLLING II TYPE FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE

In this paper, we study the existence and global asymptotic stability of positive periodic solutions of a delayed periodic predator-prey system with Hoffing Ⅱ type functional response. By use of the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and the method of Lyapunov function, some sufficient conditions are obtained.

Dynamics of a discrete predator-prey model with Holling-II functional response

In this paper,we use a semidiscretization method to derive a discrete predator–prey model with Holling type II,whose continuous version is stated in[F.Wu and Y.J.Jiao,Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a predator-prey model,Bound.Value Probl.129(2019)1–11].First,the existence and local stability of fixed points of the system are investigated by employing a key lemma.Then we obtain the sufficient conditions for the occurrence of the transcritical bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and the stability of the closed orbits bifurcated by using the Center Manifold theorem and bifurcation theory.Finally,we present numerical simulations to verify corresponding theoretical results and reveal some new dynamics.

Complex dynamic behaviors of a discrete predator-prey model with stage structure and harvesting

First, a discrete stage-structured and harvested predator-prey model is established, which is based on a predator-prey model with Type III functional response. Then the~ oretical methods are used to investigate existence of equilibria and their local proper- ties. Third, it is shown that the system undergoes flip bifurcation and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation in the interior of R~_, by using the normal form of discrete systems, the center manifold theorem and the bifurcation theory, as varying the model parameters in some range. In particular, the direction and the stability of the flip bifurcation and the Neimark -Sacker bifurcation are showed. Finally, numerical simulations are presented not only to illustrate our results with the theoretical analysis, but also to exhibit the com- plex dynamical behaviors, such as cascades of period-doubling bifurcation and chaotic sets. These results reveal far richer dynamics of the discrete model compared with the continuous model. The Lyapunov exponents are numerically computed to confirm fur- ther the complexity of the dynamical behaviors. In addition, we show also the stabilizing effect of the harvesting by using numerical simulations.

Dynamical analysis and chaos control of a fractional-order Leslie-type predator-prey model with Caputo derivative

In this paper,the dynamical behaviors of a discrete-time fractional-order population model are considered.The stability analysis and the topological classification of the model at the fixed point have been investigated.It is shown that the model undergoes flip and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations around the co-existence fixed point by using the bifurcation and the normal form theory.These bifurcations lead to chaos when the parameter changes at critical point.In order to control chaotic behavior in the model result from Neimark-Sacker bifurcation,the OGY feedback method has been used.Furthermore,some numerical simulations,including bifurcation diagrams,phase portraits and maximum Lyapunov exponents of the presented model are plotted to support the correctness of the analytical results.The positive Lyapunov exponents demonstrate that chaotic behavior exists in the considered model.

Periodic Solutions of a Discrete Time Predator-Prey System

In this paper, we discuss a discrete predator-prey system with a non-monotonic functional response, which models the dynamics of the prey and the predator having non-overlapping generations. By using the coincidence degree theory, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of positive periodic solutions.

Cooperative hunting in a discrete predator-prey system

We propose and investigate a discrete-time predator-prey system with cooperative hunting in the predator population.The model is constructed from the classical Nicholson-Bailey host-parasitoid system with density dependent growth rate.A sufficient condition based on the model parameters for which both populations can coexist is derived,namely that the predator’s maximal reproductive number exceeds one.We study existence of interior steady states and their stability in certain parameter regimes.It is shown that the system behaves asymptotically similar to the model with no cooperative hunting if the degree of cooperation is small.Large cooperative hunting,however,may promote persistence of the predator for which the predator would otherwise go extinct if there were no cooperation.

THE PERMANENCE OF A DISCRETE PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH TIME DELAYS

PERMANENCE AND GLOBAL STABILITY OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO TWO PREDATORSONE PREY SYSTEM WITH A DISCRETE TIME RATIO-DEPENDENT

A three-species ratio-dependent predator-prey discrete model is studied.As a result,sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence of the model are obtained. In addition,by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function,we derive some sufficient conditions,which ensure that the positive solution of the model is stable and attracts all positive solutions.To illustrate the feasibility of the main results,we introduce an example with corresponding numeric simulations.

Impact of time delay and cooperation strategy on the stability of a predator-prey model with Holling type III functional response

In this paper,we propose and analyze a delayed predator-prey model with Holling type III functional response taking into account cooperation behavior in predators.The time delay is introduced in the attack rate to represent the time necessary to trigger the attack.Each analytical result is followed by an ecological interpretation.We investigate the effect of hunting cooperation on both the number and the level of positive steady states.We observe that the level of the positive equilibrium decreases when increasing the hunting cooperation parameter.Then,we study the impact of the delay as well as the cooperation in hunting on the dynamics of the system.We prove that the presence of delay in the attack rate induces stability switches around the coexisting equilibrium when predators cooperate.In addition,we consider the discrete delay as a bifurcation parameter and prove that the model undergoes a Hopf-bifurcation at the coexisting equilibrium when the delay crosses some critical values.Numerical simulations are presented to confirm our analytical findings.

THE VOLTERRA MODEL FOR THREE SPACIES PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEMS IN LOOPS

We consider the three species predator-prey model with the same intrinsic growth rates, where species 3 feeds on species 2, species 2 feeds on species 1, species 1 feeds on species 3. An open question raised by Nishan Krikorian is answered: We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for all the orbits to be unbounded. We also obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the positive equilibrium to be globally stable. It is shown that there exists a family of neutrally stable periodic orbits, in which we extend Darboux method to three-species models for the first time.
