scholarly journals Examination of Stability of the Mathematical Predator-Prey Model by Observing the Distance between Predator and Prey

Maintaining distance is one of the strategies that can be applied by prey to defend themselves or to avoid predatory attacks. This defense behavior can affect predation rates. The distance or difference in the number of prey and predator populations will affect the level of balanced ecosystem. The distance is also affecting predation rate, when there’s a long distance between prey and predator thus the predation rate decreases and vice versa. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the stability of the mathematical equilibrium on predator-prey model by observing the distance. There are two types of model being observed, type one uses exponential growth model and type two is using a logistic growth model. The analytics results obtain three equilibrium points, namely the unstable extinction equilibrium point, and the asymptotically stable predator extinction with certain conditions and asymptotically stable coexistence with certain conditions. Then numerical simulation is conducted to support the analytical results.

In this paper, we consider a predator-prey model incorporating fear and refuge.  Our results show that the predator-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the ratio between the death rate of predators and the conversion rate of prey into predator is greater than the value of prey in refuge at equilibrium.  We also show that the co-existence equilibrium points are locally asymptotically stable if the value of the prey outside refuge is greater than half of the carrying capacity.  Numerical simulations show that when the intensity of fear increases, the fraction of the prey inside refuge increases; however, it has no effect on the fraction of the prey outside refuge, in the long run. It is shown that the intensity of fear harms predator population size. Numerical simulations show that the application of Z-control will force the system to reach any desired state within a limited time, whether the desired state is a constant state or a periodic state. Our results show that when the refuge size is taken to be a non-constant function of the prey outside refuge, the systems change their dynamics. Namely, when it is a linear function or an exponential function, the system always reaches the predator-free equilibrium.  However, when it is taken as a logistic equation, the system reaches the co-existence equilibrium after long term oscillations.

In this article, we investigate the dynamical analysis of predator prey model. Interactionamong preys and predators use Holling type II functional response, and assuming prey refuge aswell as harvesting in both populations. This study aims to study the predator prey model and todetermine the effect of overharvesting which consequently will affect the ecosystem. In the modelfound three equilibrium points, i.e., (0,0) is the extinction of predator and prey equilibrium,?(??, 0) is the equilibrium with predatory populations extinct and the last equilibrium points?(??, ??) is the coexist equilibrium. All equilibrium points are asymptotically stable (locally) undercertain conditions. These analytical findings were confirmed by several numerical simulations.

In this paper, we consider a fractional-order eco-epidemic model based on the Rosenzweig–MacArthur predator–prey model. The model is derived by assuming that the prey may be infected by a disease. In order to take the memory effect into account, we apply two fractional differential operators, namely the Caputo fractional derivative (operator with power-law kernel) and the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo (ABC) sense (operator with Mittag–Leffler kernel). We take the same order of the fractional derivative in all equations for both senses to maintain the symmetry aspect. The existence and uniqueness of solutions of both eco-epidemic models (i.e., in the Caputo sense and in ABC sense) are established. Both models have the same equilibrium points, namely the trivial (origin) equilibrium point, the extinction of infected prey and predator point, the infected prey free point, the predator-free point and the co-existence point. For a model in the Caputo sense, we also show the non-negativity and boundedness of solution, perform the local and global stability analysis and establish the conditions for the existence of Hopf bifurcation. It is found that the trivial equilibrium point is a saddle point while other equilibrium points are conditionally asymptotically stable. The numerical simulations show that the solutions of the model in the Caputo sense strongly agree with analytical results. Furthermore, it is indicated numerically that the model in the ABC sense has quite similar dynamics as the model in the Caputo sense. The essential difference between the two models is the convergence rate to reach the stable equilibrium point. When a Hopf bifurcation occurs, the bifurcation points and the diameter of the limit cycles of both models are different. Moreover, we also observe a bistability phenomenon which disappears via Hopf bifurcation.

By piecewise Euler method, a discrete Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with impulsive effect at fixed moment is proposed and investigated. By using Floquets theorem, we show that a globally asymptotically stable pest-eradication periodic solution exists when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. Further, we prove that the discrete system is permanence if the impulsive period is larger than some critical value. Finally, some numerical experiments are given.

Infectious disease has an influence on the density of a population. In this paper, a fractional-order logistic growth model with infectious disease is formulated. The population grows logistically and divided into two compartments i.e. susceptible and infected populations. We start by investigating the existence, uniqueness, non-negativity, and boundedness of solutions. Furthermore, we show that the model has three equilibrium points namely the population extinction point, the disease-free point, and the endemic point. The population extinction point is always a saddle point while others are conditionally asymptotically stable. For the non-trivial equilibrium points, we successfully show that the local and global asymptotic stability have the similar properties. Especially, when the endemic point exists, it is always globally asymptotically stable. We also show the existence of forward bifurcation in our model. We portray some numerical simulations consist of the phase portraits, time series, and a bifurcation diagram to validate the analytical findings.

AbstractIn this paper, a hybrid predator–prey model with two general functional responses under seasonal succession is proposed. The model is composed of two subsystems: in the first one, the prey follows the Gompertz growth, and it turns to the logistic growth in the second subsystem since seasonal succession. The two processes are connected by impulsive perturbations. Some very general, weak criteria on the ultimate boundedness, permanence, existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of predator-free periodic solution are established. We find that the hybrid population model with seasonal succession has more survival possibilities of natural species than the usual population models. The theoretical results are illustrated by special examples and numerical simulations.

Predator prey models predict a broad range of results depending on characteristics of predators, prey and the environment in which they interact. The environment in which these species live in and interact is usually made up of many patches, and these patches are connected via migration. The instantaneous migration of these species from one patch to another may not be realistic since there may be barriers during migration such as a busy infrastructure through the natural habitat. A predator-prey model, with logistic growth for both species and constant delayed migration, is developed and analyzed in this paper. It is shown that these species will survive if they migrate at higher rates in search of sustaining resources. Thus, for the species to coexist, we recommend that factors that slow down migration rates should be addressed, for example, reducing human activities and settlement in natural habitat.
