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.

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.

On the Dynamics of a Stochastic Ratio-Dependent Predator-Prey System with Infection for the Prey

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a stochastic predator-prey model with ratio-dependent functional response and disease in the prey. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the positive solution for the stochastic model by using conventional methods. Then we obtain the threshold <img alt="" src="Edit_0a62b9be-7934-457b-aca3-af3420f5b5ee.png" /> for the infected prey population, that is, the disease will tend to extinction if <img alt="" src="Edit_e6cd63f6-de07-42be-a22a-8750d6c8aac9.png" />< 1, and it will exist in the long time if <img alt="" src="Edit_5964fdd8-a9fe-4dc2-b897-f4206f046f65.png" />> 1. Finally, the sufficient condition on the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution is obtained, which indicates that all the populations are permanent in the time mean sense. Numerical simulations are conducted to verify our analysis results.

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.

Qualitative analysis on a diffusive prey-predator model with ratio-dependent functional response

In this paper, we investigate a prey-predator model with diffusion and ratio-dependent functional response subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. Our main focuses are on the global behavior of the reaction-diffusion system and its corresponding steady-state problem. We first apply various Lyapunov functions to discuss the global stability of the unique positive constant steady-state. Then, for the steady-state system, we establish some a priori upper and lower estimates for positive steady-states, and derive several results for non-existence of positive non-constant steady-states if the diffusion rates are large or small.

DYNAMIC BEHAVIORS OF A NONAUTONOMOUS RATIO-DEPENDENT LESLIE SYSTEM INCORPORATING A PREY REFUGE

A nonautonomous ratio-dependent Leslie system incorporating a prey refuge is studied in this paper. By applying the comparison theorem of diferential equations and constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, a set of sufcient conditions which guarantee the persistent property and global attractivity of the system is obtained. Also, by applying the comparison theorem of diferential equations and Fluctuation Lemma, a set of sufcient conditions which ensure the extinction of the prey species and the global attractivity of predator species is obtained. This result shows that for the Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey system, when the value of prey refuge increases, predator species will be driven to extinction due to the lack of food. Our study shows that the alternative food resource predator species is always permanent, which means that prey refuge has no infuence on the permanence of predator species. However, refuge plays an important role in the persistent property of the prey species: large enough prey refuge could keep the persistent property of the prey species, while small enough refuge could lead to the extinction of prey species. Numerical simulations show the feasibility of the main results.
