AbstractRecently, ratio-dependent predator–prey systems have been regarded by some researchers as being more appropriate for predator–prey interactions where predation involves serious searching processes. Due to the fact that every population goes through some distinct life stages in real-life, one often introduces time delays in the variables being modelled. The presence of time delay often greatly complicates the analytical study of such models. In this paper, the qualitative behaviour of a class of ratio-dependent predator–prey systems with delay at the equilibrium in the interior of the first quadrant is studied. It is shown that the interior equilibrium cannot be absolutely stable and there exist non-trivial periodic solutions for the model. Moreover, by choosing delay $\tau$ as the bifurcation parameter we study the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the periodic solutions.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 34C25; 92D25.

A predator-prey system with two delays and stage-structure for both the predator and the prey is considered. Sufficient conditions for the local stability and the existence of periodic solutions via Hopf bifurcation with respect to both delays are obtained by analyzing the distribution of the roots of the associated characteristic equation. Specially, the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the periodic solutions bifurcating from the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and center manifold argument. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis are also provided.

In the present work, we mainly focus on a new established fractional-order predator-prey system concerning both types of time delays. Exploiting an advisable change of variable, we set up an isovalent fractional-order predator-prey model concerning a single delay. Taking advantage of the stability criterion and bifurcation theory of fractional-order dynamical system and regarding time delay as bifurcation parameter, we establish a new delay-independent stability and bifurcation criterion for the involved fractional-order predator-prey system. The numerical simulation figures and bifurcation plots successfully support the correctness of the established key conclusions.

This paper is concerned with a Holling type III predator-prey system with stage structure for the prey population and two time delays. The main result is given in terms of local stability and bifurcation. By choosing the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, sufficient conditions for the local stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of periodic solutions via Hopf bifurcation with respect to both delays are obtained. In particular, explicit formulas that can determine the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are established by using the normal form method and center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are also included.

A modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey system with two delays is investigated. By choosingτ1andτ2as bifurcation parameters, we show that the Hopf bifurcations occur when time delay crosses some critical values. Moreover, we derive the equation describing the flow on the center manifold; then we give the formula for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results and chaotic behaviors are observed. Finally, using a global Hopf bifurcation theorem for functional differential equations, we show the global existence of the periodic solutions.

The existence of positive periodic solutions for a delayed discrete predator-prey model with Holling-type-III functional responseN1(k+1)=N1(k)exp{b1(k)−a1(k)N1(k−[τ1])−α1(k)N1(k)N2(k)/(N12(k)+m2N22(k))},N2(k+1)=N2(k)exp{−b2(k)+α2(k)N12(k−[τ2])/(N12(k−[τ2])+m2N22(k−[τ2]))}is established by using the coincidence degree theory. We also present sufficient conditions for the globally asymptotical stability of this system when all the delays are zero. Our investigation gives an affirmative exemplum for the claim that the ratio-dependent predator-prey theory is more reasonable than the traditional prey-dependent predator-prey theory.
