Prey Model

A delay predator–prey model is formulated with continuous threshold prey harvesting and Holling response function of type III. Global qualitative and bifurcation analyses are combined to determine the global dynamics of the model. The positive invariance of the non-negative orthant is proved and the uniform boundedness of the trajectories. Stability of equilibria is investigated and the existence of some local bifurcations is established: saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation. We use optimal control theory to provide the correct approach to natural resource management. Results are also obtained for optimal harvesting. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the results.

The Stability

We investigate the effects of time delay and piecewise-linear threshold policy harvesting for a delayed predator–prey model. It is the first time that Holling response function of type III and the present threshold policy harvesting are associated with time delay. The trajectories of our delayed system are bounded; the stability of each equilibrium is analyzed with and without delay; there are local bifurcations as saddle-node bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation; optimal harvesting is also investigated. Numerical simulations are provided in order to illustrate each result.
