Complex dynamics of a Holling type II prey–predator system with state feedback control

The complex dynamics of a Holling type II prey–predator system with impulsive state feedback control is studied in both theoretical and numerical ways. The sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of semi-trivial and positive periodic solutions are obtained by using the Poincaré map and the analogue of the Poincaré criterion. The qualitative analysis shows that the positive periodic solution bifurcates from the semi-trivial solution through a fold bifurcation. The bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, and phase portraits are illustrated by an example, in which the chaotic solutions appear via a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations. The superiority of the state feedback control strategy is also discussed.     

Impulsive state feedback control of a predator–prey model

The dynamics of a predator–prey model with impulsive state feedback control, which is described by an autonomous system with impulses, is studied. The sufficient conditions of existence and stability of semi-trivial solution and positive period-1 solution are obtained by using the Poincaré map and analogue of the Poincaré criterion. The qualitative analysis shows that the positive period-1 solution bifurcates from the semi-trivial solution through a fold bifurcation. The bifurcation diagrams of periodic solutions are obtained by using the Poincaré map, and it is shown that a chaotic solution is generated via a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations.     

Bifurcation analysis in an SIR epidemic model with birth pulse and pulse vaccination

The dynamical behavior of an SIR epidemic model with birth pulse and pulse vaccination is discussed by means of both theoretical and numerical ways. This paper investigates the existence and stability of the infection-free periodic solution and the epidemic periodic solution. By using the impulsive effects, a Poincaré map is obtained. The Poincaré map, center manifold theorem, and bifurcation theorem are used to discuss flip bifurcation and bifurcation of the epidemic periodic solution. Moreover, the numerical results show that the epidemic periodic solution (period-one) bifurcates from the infection-free periodic solution through a supercritical bifurcation, the period-two solution bifurcates from the epidemic periodic solution through flip bifurcation, and the chaotic solution generated via a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations, which are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.     

A periodic predator–prey-chain system with impulsive perturbation

A periodic predator–prey-chain system with impulsive effects is considered. By using the global results of Rabinowitz and standard techniques of bifurcation theory, the existence of its trivial, semi-trivial and nontrivial positive periodic solutions is obtained. It is shown that the nontrivial positive periodic solution for such a system may be bifurcated from an unstable semi-trivial periodic solution. Furthermore, the stability of these periodic solutions is studied.     

Dynamic behaviors of the periodic predator–prey model with modified Leslie-Gower Holling-type II schemes and impulsive effect

In this paper, a predator–prey system which based on a modified version of the Leslie–Gower scheme and Holling-type II scheme with impulsive effect are investigated, where all the parameters of the system are time-dependent periodic functions. By using Floquet theory of linear periodic impulsive equation, some conditions for the linear stability of trivial periodic solution and semi-trivial periodic solutions are obtained. It is proved that the system can be permanent if all the trivial and semi-trivial periodic solutions are linearly unstable. We use standard bifurcation theory to show the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions which arise near the semi-trivial periodic solution. As an application, we also examine some special case of the system to confirm our main results.     

Homoclinic bifurcation for a general state-dependent Kolmogorov type predator–prey model with harvesting

In this paper, a general Kolmogorov type predator–prey model is considered. Together with a constant-yield predator harvesting, the state dependent feedback control strategies which take into account the impulsive harvesting on predators as well as the impulsive stocking on the prey are incorporated in the process of population interactions. We firstly study the existence of an order-1 homoclinic cycle for the system. It is shown that an order-1 positive periodic solution bifurcates from the order-1 homoclinic cycle through a homoclinic bifurcation as the impulsive predator harvesting rate crosses some critical value. The uniqueness and stability of the order-1 positive periodic solution are derived by applying the geometry theory of differential equations and the method of successor function. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the main results. These results indicate that careful management of resources and harvesting policies is required in the applied conservation and renewable resource contexts.

Impulsive control in a stage structure population model with birth pulses

The dynamical behavior of a stage structure population model with birth pulses and impulsive pest management strategy is discussed analytically and numerically. It is assumed that birth pulse and impulsive pest management strategy act with the same period, but not simultaneously. The existence and stability of the positive 2T-period solution are investigated. By using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theorem, the conditions of existence for flip bifurcation are derived. Moreover, some detailed numerical results for phase portraits, periodic solutions, bifurcation diagram, and chaotic attractors, which are illustrated with two examples, are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

By using the Floquet theory of linear periodic impulsive equation, some conditions for the linear stability of trivial periodic solution and semi-trivial periodic solutions are obtained. It is proved that the system can be permanent if all the trivial and semi-trivial periodic solutions are linearly unstable. We improve some results in Guo and Chen (2009) [1].

The study of a predator–prey system with group defense and impulsive control strategy

A predator–prey system with group defense and impulsive control strategy is established. By using Floquet theorem and small amplitude perturbation skills, a locally asymptotically stable prey-eradication periodic solution is obtained when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. Otherwise, if the impulsive period is larger than the critical value, the system is permanent. By using bifurcation theory, we show the existence and stability of positive periodic solution when the pest-eradication lost its stability. Further, numerical examples show that the system considered has more complicated dynamics, such as: (1) quasi-periodic oscillating, (2) period-doubling bifurcation, (3) period-halving bifurcation, (4) non-unique dynamics (meaning that several attractors coexist), (5) attractor crisis, etc. Finally, the biological implications of the results and the impulsive control strategy are discussed.     

Dynamic behaviors of the periodic Lotka–Volterra competing system with impulsive perturbations

In this paper, we investigate a classical periodic Lotka–Volterra competing system with impulsive perturbations. The conditions for the linear stability of trivial periodic solution and semi-trivial periodic solutions are given by applying Floquet theory of linear periodic impulsive equation, and we also give the conditions for the global stability of these solutions as a consequence of some abstract monotone iterative schemes introduced in this paper, which will be also used to get some sufficient conditions for persistence. By using the method of coincidence degree, the conditions for the existence of at least one strictly positive (componentwise) periodic solution are derived. The theoretical results are confirmed by a specific example and numerical simulations. It shows that the dynamic behaviors of the system we consider are quite different from the corresponding system without pulses.     

Multiple bifurcations and periodic “bubbling” in a delay population model

In this paper, the flip bifurcation and periodic doubling bifurcations of a discrete population model without delay influence is firstly studied and the phenomenon of Feigenbaum’s cascade of periodic doublings is also observed. Secondly, we explored the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation in the delay population model (two-dimension discrete dynamical systems) and the unique stable closed invariant curve which bifurcates from the nontrivial fixed point. Finally, a computer-assisted study for the delay population model is also delved into. Our computer simulation shows that the introduction of delay effect in a nonlinear difference equation derived from the logistic map leads to much richer dynamic behavior, such as stable node → stable focus → an lower-dimensional closed invariant curve (quasi-periodic solution, limit cycle) or/and stable periodic solutions → chaotic attractor by cascading bubbles (the combination of potential period doubling and reverse period-doubling) and the sudden change between two different attractors, etc.     

Dynamic analysis of a pest management SEI model with saturation incidence concerning impulsive control strategy

According to biological strategy for pest control, we investigate the dynamic behavior of a pest management SEI model with saturation incidence concerning impulsive control strategy-periodic releasing infected pests at fixed times. We prove that all solutions of the system are uniformly ultimately bounded and there exists a globally asymptotically stable pest-eradication periodic solution when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. When the impulsive period is larger than some critical value, the stability of the pest-eradication periodic solution is lost; the system is uniformly permanent. Thus, we can use the stability of the positive periodic solution and its period to control insect pests at acceptably low levels. Numerical results show that the system we consider can take on various kinds of periodic fluctuations and several types of attractor coexistence and is dominated by period-doubling cascade, symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurcation, quasi-periodic oscillate, chaos, and non-unique dynamics.

By using Poincaré map and the properties of the Lambert W$W$ function, we prove that the sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of semi-trivial solution and positive periodic solution.

The dynamics of an epidemic model for pest control with impulsive effect

In pest control, there are only a few papers on mathematical models of the dynamics of microbial diseases. In this paper a model concerning biologically-based impulsive control strategy for pest control is formulated and analyzed. The paper shows that there exists a globally stable susceptible pest eradication periodic solution when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. Further, the conditions for the permanence of the system are given. In addition, there exists a unique positive periodic solution via bifurcation theory, which implies both the susceptible pest and the infective pest populations oscillate with a positive amplitude. In this case, the susceptible pest population is infected to the maximum extent while the infective pest population has little effect on the crops. When the unique positive periodic solution loses its stability, numerical simulation shows there is a characteristic sequence of bifurcations, leading to a chaotic dynamic, which implies that this model has more complex dynamics, including period-doubling bifurcation, chaos and strange attractors.     

Periodically forced nonlinear systems of difference equations

The existance of nontrivial (x=0( periodic solutions of a general class of periodic nonlinear difference equations is proved using bifurcation theory methods. Specifically, the existance of a global continuum of nontrivial periodicsolutions that bifurcates from the trivial solution (x=0) is proved. Conditions are given under which the nontrivial solutions are positive. A prerrequisite Fredholm and adjoint operator theory for linear periodic systems is developed. An application to application dynamics is made.     

Analysis of an epidemic model with density-dependent birth rate,birth pulses

In this paper, we propose an SIS epidemic model for which population births occur during a single period of the year. Using the discrete map, we obtain exact periodic solutions of system which is with Ricker function. The existence and stability of the infection-free periodic solution and the positive periodic solution are investigated. The Poincaré map, the center manifold theorem and the bifurcation theorem are used to discuss flip bifurcation and bifurcation of the positive periodic solution. Numerical results imply that the dynamical behaviors of the epidemic model with birth pulses are very complex, including small-amplitude periodic 1 solution, large-amplitude multi-periodic cycles, and chaos. This suggests that birth pulse, in effect, provides a natural period or cyclicity that allow for a period-doubling route to chaos.
