First, a discrete stage-structured and harvested predator–prey model is established, which is based on a predator–prey model with Type III functional response. Then theoretical methods are used to investigate existence of equilibria and their local properties. Third, it is shown that the system undergoes flip bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation in the interior of [Formula: see text], by using the normal form of discrete systems, the center manifold theorem and the bifurcation theory, as varying the model parameters in some range. In particular, the direction and the stability of the flip bifurcation and the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation are showed. Finally, numerical simulations are presented not only to illustrate our results with the theoretical analysis, but also to exhibit the complex dynamical behaviors, such as cascades of period-doubling bifurcation and chaotic sets. These results reveal far richer dynamics of the discrete model compared with the continuous model. The Lyapunov exponents are numerically computed to confirm further the complexity of the dynamical behaviors. In addition, we show also the stabilizing effect of the harvesting by using numerical simulations.

In this paper, a difference-algebraic predator–prey model is proposed, and its complex dynamical behaviors are analyzed. The model is a discrete singular system, which is obtained by using Euler scheme to discretize a differential-algebraic predator–prey model with harvesting that we establish. Firstly, the local stability of the interior equilibrium point of proposed model is investigated on the basis of discrete dynamical system theory. Further, by applying the new normal form of difference-algebraic equations, center manifold theory and bifurcation theory, the Flip bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation around the interior equilibrium point are studied, where the step size is treated as the variable bifurcation parameter. Lastly, with the help of Matlab software, some numerical simulations are performed not only to validate our theoretical results, but also to show the abundant dynamical behaviors, such as period-doubling bifurcations, period 2, 4, 8, and 16 orbits, invariant closed curve, and chaotic sets. In particular, the corresponding maximum Lyapunov exponents are numerically calculated to corroborate the bifurcation and chaotic behaviors.

In this paper, we propose a time-delayed predator-prey model with Holling-type II functional response, which incorporates the gestation period and the cost of fear into prey reproduction. The dynamical behavior of this system is both analytically and numerically investigated from the viewpoint of stability, permanence, and bifurcation. We found that there are stability switches, and Hopf bifurcations occur when the delay τ passes through a sequence of critical values. The explicit formulae which determine the direction, stability, and other properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. We perform extensive numerical simulations to explore the impact of some important parameters on the dynamics of the system. Numerical simulations show that high levels of fear have a stabilizing effect while relatively low levels of fear have a destabilizing effect on the predator-prey interactions which lead to limit-cycle oscillations. We also found that the model with or without a delay-dependent factor can have a significantly different dynamics. Thus, ignoring the delay or not including the delay-dependent factor might result in inaccurate modelling predictions.

Abstract This paper mainly aims to consider the dynamical behaviors of a diffusive delayed predator–prey system with Smith growth and herd behavior subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. For the analysis of the predator–prey model, we have studied the existence of Hopf bifurcation by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. Then we have proved the stability of the periodic solution by calculating the normal form on the center of manifold which is associated to the Hopf bifurcation points. Some numerical simulations are also carried out in order to validate our analysis findings. The implications of our analytical and numerical findings are discussed critically.

In this paper, we study a discrete-time predator–prey model with Holling type-III functional response and harvesting in both species. A detailed bifurcation analysis, depending on some parameter, reveals a rich bifurcation structure, including transcritical bifurcation, flip bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation. However, some sufficient conditions to guarantee the global asymptotic stability of the trivial fixed point and unique positive fixed points are also given. The existence of chaos in the sense of Li–Yorke has been established for the discrete system. The extensive numerical simulations are given to support the analytical findings. The system exhibits flip bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation followed by wide range of dense chaos. Further, the chaos occurred in the system can be controlled by choosing suitable value of prey harvesting.

The dynamical behaviors of a diffusive predator–prey model with Beddington–DeAngelis functional response and disease in the prey is considered in this work. By applying the comparison principle, linearized method, Lyapunov function and iterative method, we are able to achieve sufficient conditions of the permanence, the local stability and global stability of the boundary equilibria and the positive equilibrium, respectively. Our result complements and supplements some known ones.
