    Qualitative Analysis of a Modified Leslie-Gower Predator-prey Model with Weak Allee Effect II

    The article aims to study a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with Allee effect II, affecting the functional response with the assumption that the extent to which the environment provides protection to both predator and prey is the same. The model has been studied analytically as well as numerically, including stability and bifurcation analysis. Compared with the predator-prey model without Allee effect, it is found that the weak Allee effect II can bring rich and complicated dynamics, such as the model undergoes to a series of bifurcations (Homoclinic, Hopf, Saddle-node and Bogdanov-Takens). The existence of Hopf bifurcation has been shown for models with (without) Allee effect and the local existence and stability of the limit cycle emerging through Hopf bifurcation has also been studied. The phase portrait diagrams are sketched to validate analytical and numerical findings

The existence of Hopf bifurcation has been shown for models with (with- out) Allee effect and the local existence and stability of the limit cycle emerging through Hopf bifurcation has also been studied.

    Stability and bifurcation analysis of a discrete predator-prey system of Ricker type with refuge effect

    The refuge effect is critical in ecosystems for stabilizing predator-prey interactions. The purpose of this research was to investigate the complexities of a discrete-time predator-prey system with a refuge effect. The analysis investigated the presence and stability of fixed points, as well as period-doubling and Neimark-Sacker (NS) bifurcations. The bifurcating and fluctuating behavior of the system was controlled via feedback and hybrid control methods. In addition, numerical simulations were performed as evidence to back up our theoretical findings. According to our findings, maintaining an optimal level of refuge availability was critical for predator and prey population cohabitation and stability

    Stability and Bifurcation Analysis of a Delayed Leslie-Gower Predator-Prey System with Nonmonotonic Functional Response

    A delayed Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with nonmonotonic functional response is studied. The existence and local stability of the positive equilibrium of the system with or without delay are completely determined in the parameter plane. Using the method of upper and lower solutions and monotone iterative scheme, a sufficient condition independent of delay for the global stability of the positive equilibrium is obtained. Hopf bifurcations induced by the ratio of the intrinsic growth rates of the predator and prey and by delay, respectively, are found. Employing the normal form theory, the direction and stability of Hopf bifurcations can be explicitly determined by the parameters of the system. Some numerical simulations are given to support and extend our theoretical results. Two limit cycles enclosing an equilibrium, one limit cycle enclosing three equilibria and different types of heteroclinic orbits such as connecting two equilibria and connecting a limit cycle and an equilibrium are also found by using analytic and numerical methods

    Bifurcation and pattern dynamics in the nutrient-plankton network

    This paper used a Holling-IV nutrient-plankton model with a network to describe algae's spatial and temporal distribution and variation in a specific sea area. The stability and bifurcation of the nonlinear dynamic model of harmful algal blooms (HABs) were analyzed using the nonlinear dynamic theory and de-eutrophication's effect on algae's nonlinear dynamic behavior. The conditions for equilibrium points (local and global), saddle-node, transcritical, Hopf-Andronov and Bogdanov-Takens (B-T) bifurcation were obtained. The stability of the limit cycle was then judged and the rich and complex phenomenon was obtained by numerical simulations, which revealed the robustness of the nutrient-plankton system by switching between nodes. Also, these results show the relationship between HABs and bifurcation, which has important guiding significance for solving the environmental problems of HABs caused by the abnormal increase of phytoplankton

    Bifurcation analysis of phytoplankton-fish model through parametric control by fish mortality rate and food transfer efficiency

    Get PDF
    An Algae-zooplankton fish model is studied in this article. First the proposed model is evaluated for positive invariance and boundedness. Then,the Routh-Hurwitz parameters and the Lyapunov function are used to determine the presence of a positive interior steady state and the criteria for plankton model stability (both local and global). Taylor’s sequence is also used to discuss Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcated periodic solutions. The model’s bifurcation analysis reveals that Hopf-bifurcation can occur when mortality rate and food transfer efficiency are used as bifurcation parameters. Finally, we use numerical simulation to validate the analytical results

    Dynamics of a harvested cyanobacteria-fish model with modified Holling type â…£ functional response

    Get PDF
    In this paper, considering the aggregation effect and Allee effect of cyanobacteria populations and the harvesting of both cyanobacteria and fish by human beings, a new cyanobacteria-fish model with two harvesting terms and a modified Holling type â…£ functional response function is proposed. The main purpose of this paper is to further elucidate the influence of harvesting terms on the dynamic behavior of a cyanobacteria-fish model. Critical conditions for the existence and stability of several interior equilibria are given. The economic equilibria and the maximum sustainable total yield problem are also studied. The model exhibits several bifurcations, such as transcritical bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. It is concluded from a biological perspective that the survival mode of cyanobacteria and fish can be determined by the harvesting terms. Finally, concrete examples of our model are given through numerical simulations to verify and enrich the theoretical results
