Culling birds has always been an effective method to control the spread of avian influenza. Here, we introduce a Filippov avian-only model with culling of both susceptible and infected birds. The Filippov-type model is formulated by considering that no control strategy is taken if the number of infected birds is less than an infected threshold level [Formula: see text]; further, we cull infected birds once the number of infected birds exceeds [Formula: see text]; meanwhile, we cull susceptible birds if the number of susceptible birds exceeds a susceptible threshold level [Formula: see text]. The global dynamical behavior of the Filippov system, including the existence and stability of various types of equilibria, the existence of the sliding mode and its dynamics, together with bifurcation analyses with regard to local sliding bifurcations, is investigated. It is shown that model solutions ultimately converge to the positive equilibrium that lies in the region above [Formula: see text], or below [Formula: see text], or on [Formula: see text], as we vary the susceptible and infected threshold values [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Our results indicate that proper combinations of the susceptible and infected threshold values based on the threshold policy can maintain the number of infected birds either below a certain threshold level or at a previously given level.

This paper proposes a Filippov epidemic model with piecewise continuous function to represent the enhanced vaccination strategy being triggered once the proportion of the susceptible individuals exceeds a threshold level. The sliding bifurcation and global dynamics for the proposed system are investigated. It is shown that as the threshold value varies, the proposed system can exhibit variable sliding mode domains and local sliding bifurcations including boundary node (focus) bifurcation, double tangency bifurcation and other sliding mode bifurcations. Model solutions ultimately approach either one of two endemic states for two structures or the pseudo-equilibrium on the switching surface, depending on the threshold level. The findings indicate that proper combinations of threshold level and enhanced vaccination rate based on threshold policy can lead disease prevalence to a previously chosen level if eradication of disease is impossible.

AbstractDepopulation of birds has been authenticated to be an effective measure in controlling avian influenza transmission. In this work, we establish a Filippov avian-only model incorporating a threshold policy control. We choose the index—the maximum between the infected threshold level $I_{T}$ I T and the product of the number of susceptible birds S and a ratio threshold value ξ—to decide on whether to trigger the control measures or not, which then leads to a discontinuous separation line and two pieces of sliding-mode domains. Meanwhile, one more sliding-mode domain gives birth to more complex dynamics. We investigate the global dynamical behavior of the Filippov model, including the real and/or virtual equilibria and the two sliding modes and their dynamics. The solutions will eventually stabilize at the real endemic equilibrium of the subsystem or the pseudoequilibria on the two sliding modes due to different threshold values. Therefore an effective and efficient threshold policy is essential to control the influenza by driving the number of infected birds below a certain level or at a previously given level.

In order to reduce the spread of plant diseases and maintain the number of infected trees below an economic threshold, we choose the number of infected trees and the number of susceptible plants as the control indexes on whether to implement control strategies. Then a Filippov plant-disease model incorporating cutting off infected branches and replanting susceptible trees is proposed. Based on the theory of Filippov system, the sliding mode dynamics and conditions for the existence of all the possible equilibria and Lotka–Volterra cycles are presented. We find that model solutions ultimately approach the positive equilibrium that lies in the region above the infected threshold value [Formula: see text], or the periodic trajectories that lie in the region below [Formula: see text], or the pseudo-attractor [Formula: see text], as we vary the susceptible and infected threshold values. It indicates that the plant-disease transmission is tolerable if the trajectories approach [Formula: see text] or the periodic trajectories lie in the region below [Formula: see text]. Hence an acceptable level of the number of infected trees can be achieved when the susceptible and infected threshold values are chosen appropriately.

A Filippov system is proposed to describe the stage structured nonsmooth pest growth with threshold policy control (TPC). The TPC measure is represented by the total density of both juveniles and adults being chosen as an index for decisions on when to implement chemical control strategies. The proposed Filippov system can have three pieces of sliding segments and three pseudo-equilibria, which result in rich sliding mode bifurcations and local sliding bifurcations including boundary node (boundary focus, or boundary saddle) and tangency bifurcations. As the threshold density varies the model exhibits the interesting global sliding bifurcations sequentially: touching → buckling → crossing → sliding homoclinic orbit to a pseudo-saddle → crossing → touching bifurcations. In particular, bifurcation of a homoclinic orbit to a pseudo-saddle with a figure of eight shape, to a pseudo-saddle-node or to a standard saddle-node have been observed for some parameter sets. This implies that control outcomes are sensitive to the threshold level, and hence it is crucial to choose the threshold level to initiate control strategy. One more sliding segment (or pseudo-equilibrium) is induced by the total density of a population guided switching policy, compared to only the juvenile density guided policy, implying that this control policy is more effective in terms of preventing multiple pest outbreaks or causing the density of pests to stabilize at a desired level such as an economic threshold.

The Filippov ratio-dependent prey-predator model with economic threshold is proposed and studied. In particular, the sliding mode domain, sliding mode dynamics, and the existence of four types of equilibria and tangent points are investigated firstly. Further, the stability of pseudoequilibrium is addressed by using theoretical and numerical methods, and also the local sliding bifurcations including regular/virtual equilibrium bifurcations and boundary node bifurcations are studied. Finally, some global sliding bifurcations are addressed numerically. The globally stable touching cycle indicates that the density of pest population can be successfully maintained below the economic threshold level by designing suitable threshold policy strategies.

Abstract In this paper, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model that includes a protease inhibitor (PI), two intracellular delays, and a general incidence function is derived from biologically natural assumptions. The global dynamical behavior of the model in terms of the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 is investigated by the methods of Lyapunov functional and limiting system. The infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $\mathcal{R}_{0}\leq 1$ R 0 ≤ 1 . If $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ R 0 > 1 , then the positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the main results and to analyze thre effects of time delays and the efficacy of the PI on $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 .

Of concern is the global dynamics of a two-species Holling-II amensalism system with nonlinear growth rate. The existence and stability of trivial equilibrium, semi-trivial equilibria, interior equilibria and infinite singularity are studied. Under different parameters, there exist two stable equilibria which means that this model is not always globally asymptotically stable. Together with the existence of all possible equilibria and their stability, saddle connection and close orbits, we derive some conditions for transcritical bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation. Furthermore, the global dynamics of the model is performed. Next, we incorporate Allee effect on the first species and offer a new analysis of equilibria and bifurcation discussion of the model. Finally, several numerical examples are performed to verify our theoretical results.

In this paper, we investigate two predator–prey models which take into consideration hunting cooperation (i.e., mutualism) between two different predators and within one predator species, respectively. Local and global dynamics are obtained for the model systems. By a detailed bifurcation analysis, we investigate the dependence of predation dynamics on mutualism (cooperative predation). From our study, we prove that mutualism may enhance the survival of mutualist predators in a severe condition and break the competitive exclusion principle. We further provide quantitative information about how the cooperative predation (mutualism) may (i) establish multiple stability switches on the positive equilibrium; (ii) generate backward bifurcation on equilibria; (iii) induce supercritical or subcritical Hopf bifurcations; and (iv) establish bi-stability phenomenon between the predator-free equilibrium and a positive equilibrium (or a limit cycle).

We make a mathematical analysis of an age structured HIV infection model with both virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell transmissions to understand the dynamical behavior of HIV infection in vivo. In the model, we consider the proliferation of uninfected CD[Formula: see text] T cells by a logistic function and the infected CD[Formula: see text] T cells are assumed to have an infection-age structure. Our main results concern the Hopf bifurcation of the model by using the theory of integrated semigroup and the Hopf bifurcation theory for semilinear equations with nondense domain. Bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist some parameter values such that this HIV infection model has a nontrivial periodic solution which bifurcates from the positive equilibrium. The numerical simulations are also carried out.

The paper studies three-dimensional food-chain model with variable consumption rate in Chemostat. Assume the prey population's consumption rate of the nutrients is quadratic function, and the predator's consumption rate of the prey population is linear function. Use qualitative theory of ordinary differential equation to analyze the equilibrium solution of the model, especially the existence and stability of positive equilibrium solutions and Hopf bifurcation solutions. Finally,several numerical simulations illustrating the theoretical analysis are also given.
