Bifurcation and chaos in a discrete time predator-prey system of Leslie type with generalized Holling type III functional response

This paper is devoted to study a discrete time predator-prey system of Leslie type with generalized Holling type III functional response obtained using the forward Euler scheme. Taking the integration step size as the bifurcation parameter and using the center manifold theory and bifurcation theory, it is shown that by varying the parameter the system undergoes flip bifurcation and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation in the interior of $\mathbb{R}_+^2$. Numerical simulations are implemented not only to illustrate our results with the theoretical analysis, but also to exhibit the complex dynamical behaviors, such as cascade of period-doubling bifurcation in period-$2$, $4$, $8$, quasi-periodic orbits and the chaotic sets. These results shows much richer dynamics of the discrete model compared with the continuous model. The maximum Lyapunov exponent is numerically computed to confirm the complexity of the dynamical behaviors. Moreover, we have stabilized the chaotic orbits at an unstable fixed point using the feedback control method.

Mathematics analysis and chaos in an ecological model with an impulsive control strategy

In this paper, on the basis of the theories and methods of ecology and ordinary differential equation, an ecological model with an impulsive control strategy is established. By using the theories of impulsive equation, small amplitude perturbation skills and comparison technique, we get the condition which guarantees the global asymptotical stability of the lowest-level prey and mid-level predator eradication periodic solution. It is proved that the system is permanent. Further, influences of the impulsive perturbation on the inherent oscillation are studied numerically, which shows rich dynamics, such as period-doubling bifurcation, period-halving bifurcation, chaotic band, narrow or wide periodic window, chaotic crises,etc. Moreover, the computation of the largest Lyapunov exponent demonstrates the chaotic dynamic behavior of the model. At the same time, we investigate the qualitative nature of strange attractor by using Fourier spectra. All these results may be useful for study of the dynamic complexity of ecosystems.     

Complex dynamics in a discrete-time predator-prey system without Allee effect

In this paper, complex dynamics of the discrete-time predator-prey system without Allee effect are investigated in detail. Conditions of the existence for flip bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are derived by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory and checked up by numerical simulations. Chaos, in the sense of Marotto, is also proved by both analytical and numerical methods. Numerical simulations included bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, phase portraits, fractal dimensions display new and richer dynamics behaviors. More specifically, this paper presents the finding of period-one orbit, period-three orbits, and chaos in the sense of Marotto, complete period-doubling bifurcation and invariant circle leading to chaos with a great abundance period-windows, simultaneous occurrance of two different routes (invariant circle and inverse period- doubling bifurcation, and period-doubling bifurcation and inverse period-doubling bifurcation) to chaos for a given bifurcation parameter, period doubling bifurcation with period-three orbits to chaos, suddenly appearing or disappearing chaos, different kind of interior crisis, nice chaotic attractors, coexisting (2,3,4) chaotic sets, non-attracting chaotic set, and so on, in the discrete-time predator-prey system. Combining the existing results in the current literature with the new results reported in this paper, a more complete understanding is given of the discrete-time predator-prey systems with Allee effect and without Allee effect.

Dynamic complexities in a single-species discrete population model with stage structure and birth pulses

Natural population, whose population numbers are small and generations are non-overlapping, can be modelled by difference equations that describe how the population evolve in discrete time-steps. This paper investigates a recent study on the dynamics complexities in a single-species discrete population model with stage structure and birth pulses. Using the stroboscopic map, we obtain an exact cycle of system, and obtain the threshold conditions for its stability. Above this, there is a characteristic sequence of bifurcations, leading to chaotic dynamics, which implies that this the dynamical behaviors of the single-species discrete model with birth pulses are very complex, including (a) non-unique dynamics, meaning that several attractors and chaos coexist; (b) small-amplitude annual oscillations; (c) large-amplitude multi-annual cycles; (d) chaos. Some interesting results are obtained and they showed that pulsing provides a natural period or cyclicity that allows for a period-doubling route to chaos.     

Dynamics of a continuous Hénon model

We study a continuous Hénon system obtained by considering the discrete original model in continuous time. While the dynamics of the continuous model is trivial, we are able to recover the complexity of the discrete model by the introduction of time delays. In particular, high period limit cycles and chaotic attractors are observed. We illustrate the results with some numerical simulations.     

Permanence and chaos in a host–parasitoid model with prolonged diapause for the host

The dynamic behavior of a host–parasitoid model with prolonged diapause for the host is investigated. It is proved that the system is permanent under certain appropriate conditions. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate consistency with the theoretical analysis. For the biologically reasonable range of parameter values, the global dynamics of the system have been studied numerically. In particular, the effect of prolonged diapause on the system has been investigated. Many forms of complex dynamics are observed, including quasi-periodicity, period-doubling and period-halving bifurcations, chaotic bands with periodic windows, attractor crises, intermittency, and supertransients. These complex dynamic behaviors are confirmed by the largest Lyapunov exponents.     

Bifurcation and chaos in a discrete genetic toggle switch system

A discrete genetic toggle switch system obtained by Euler method is first investigated. The conditions of existence for fold bifurcation and flip bifurcation are derived by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. The numerical simulations, including bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, and computation of Lyapunov exponents, not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also exhibit the rich and complex dynamical behavior. We show the period 3 to 13 windows in different chaotic regions, period-doubling bifurcation or inverse period-doubling bifurcation from period-2 to 12 orbits leading to chaos, different kind of interior crisis and boundary crisis, intermittency behavior, chaotic set, chaotic non-attracting set, coexistence of period points with invariant cycles, and so on. The influence of the amplitude and frequency of excitable forcing on the system are also first considered by using numerical simulation. A different type of quasiperiodic orbits, jumping behaviors of quasiperiodic set from one set to another set, and the processes from quasiperiodic orbits to strange non-chaotic attractor are found.     

The Dynamics of a Prey-dependent Consumption Model Concerning Integrated Pest Management

A mathematical model for the dynamics of a prey-dependent consumption model concerning integrated pest management is proposed and analyzed. We show that there exists a globally stable pesteradication periodic solution when the impulsive period is less than some critical values. Furthermore, the conditions for the permanence of the system are given. By using bifurcation theory, we show the existence of a nontrival periodic solution if the pest-eradication periodic solution loses its stability. When the unique positive periodic solution loses its stability, numerical simulation shows there is a characteristic sequence of bifurcations, leading to a chaotic dynamics, which implies that dynamical behaviors of prey-dependent consumption concerning integrated pest management are very complex, including period-doubling cascades, chaotic bands with periodic windows, crises, symmetry-breaking bifurcations and supertransients.

The computations of Lyapunov exponents confirm the chaos behaviors. Moreover we also find a strange attractor having the self-similar ohit structure as that of Henon attractor.

Three-species food web model with impulsive control strategy and chaos

A three-species ecological model with impulsive control strategy is developed using the theory and methods of ecology and ordinary differential equation. Conditions for extinction of the system are given based on the theory of impulsive equation and small amplitude perturbation. Using comparison involving multiple Lyapunov functions, the system is shown to be permanent. Further, the influence of the impulsive perturbation on the inherent oscillation are studied numerically and is found to depict rich dynamics, such as the period-doubling bifurcation, the period-halving bifurcation, a chaotic band, a narrow or wide periodic window, and chaotic crises. In addition, the largest Lyapunov exponent is computed. This computation demonstrates the chaotic dynamic behavior of the model. The qualitative nature of concerned strange attractors is also investigated through their computed Fourier spectra. The foregoing results have the potential to be useful for the study of the dynamic complexity of ecosystems.

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.     

Bifurcation and chaos in discrete-time predator–prey system

The discrete-time predator–prey system obtained by Euler method is investigated. The conditions of existence for flip bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are derived by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. And numerical simulation results not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also display the new and interesting dynamical behaviors, including period-3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22, 30, 39-orbits in different chaotic regions, attracting invariant circle, period-doubling bifurcation from period-10 leading to chaos, inverse period-doubling bifurcation from period-5 leading to chaos, interior crisis and boundary crisis, intermittency mechanic, onset of chaos suddenly and sudden disappearance of the chaotic dynamics, attracting chaotic set, and non-attracting chaotic set. In particular, we observe that when the prey is in chaotic dynamic, the predator can tend to extinction or to a stable equilibrium. The computations of Lyapunov exponents confirm the dynamical behaviors. The analysis and results in this paper are interesting in mathematics and biology.
