The dynamical behaviors of a Ivlev-type two-prey two-predator system with impulsive effect

In this paper, considering the strategy of integrated Pest Management (IPM), a class of two-prey two-predator system with the Ivlev-type functional response and impulsive effect at different fixed time is established. By using impulsive comparison theorem, Floquent theory and small amplitude perturbation skill, the sufficient conditions for the system to be extinct of prey and permanence are proved. Moreover, we give two sufficient conditions for the extinction of one of two prey and remaining three species are permanent. Numerical simulation shows that there exist complex dynamics for system, such as symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurcation, periodic doubling bifurcation, chaos, periodic halving cascade. Lastly, a brief discussion is given.     

Extinction and permanence in delayed stage-structure predator–prey system with impulsive effects

Based on the classical stage-structured model and Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model, an impulsive delayed differential equation to model the process of periodically releasing natural enemies at fixed times for pest control is proposed and investigated. We show that the conditions for global attractivity of the ‘pest-extinction’ (‘prey-eradication’) periodic solution and permanence of the population of the model depend on time delay. We also show that constant maturation time delay and impulsive releasing for the predator can bring great effects on the dynamics of system by numerical analysis. As a result, the pest maturation time delay is considered to establish a procedure to maintain the pests at an acceptably low level in the long term. In this paper, the main feature is that we introduce time delay and pulse into the predator–prey (natural enemy-pest) model with age structure, exhibit a new modelling method which is applied to investigate impulsive delay differential equations, and give some reasonable suggestions for pest management.     

Extinction and permanence in a stochastic non-autonomous population system

A stochastic non-autonomous predator–prey system with Holling II functional response is investigated. Sufficient criteria for extinction and uniform weak persistence in the mean for each species are established. The acute persistence–extinction thresholds for each species are obtained in many cases.     

Extinction and permanence in nonautonomous competitive system with stage structure

In this paper, the n-species nonautonomous stage-structured competitive system is constructed and considered. Sufficient conditions for its extinction and permanence are obtained. Results here generalize and unify some previous ones. Moreover, it is concluded that stage structure in this system is one of the important factors that effect the extinction and permanence of species.     

Extinction and permanence of chemostat model with pulsed input in a polluted environment

In this paper, chemostat model with pulsed input in a polluted environment is considered. By using the Floquet theorem, we find the microorganism eradication periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable if some conditions are needed. At the same time we can find the condition of the nutrient and microorganism are permanent.     

Extinction and permanence for a pulse vaccination delayed SEIRS epidemic model

A delayed SEIRS epidemic model with pulse vaccination and bilinear incidence rate is investigated. Using Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem, we obtain the existence of disease-free periodic solution (DFPS for short) of the delayed impulsive epidemic system. Further, using the comparison method, we prove that under the condition R^* < 1, the DFPS is globally attractive, and that R_* > 1 implies that the disease is permanent. Theoretical results show that the disease will be extinct if the vaccination rate is larger than θ^* and the disease is uniformly persistent if the vaccination rate is less than θ_*. Our results indicate that a long latent period of the disease or a large pulse vaccination rate will lead to eradication of the disease.     

Dynamics of an impulsive control system which prey species share a common predator

In an ecosystem multiple prey species often share a common predator and the interactions between the preys are neutral. In view of these facts and based on a multiple species prey–predator system with Holling IV and II functional responses, an impulsive differential equation to model the process of periodically releasing natural enemies and spraying pesticides at different fixed times for pest control is proposed and investigated. It is proved that there exists a locally asymptotically stable pest-eradication periodic solution under the assumption that the impulsive period is less than some critical value (or the release amount of the predator is greater than another critical value). Permanence conditions are established when the impulsive period is greater than another critical value (or the release amount of the predator is less than some critical value). Numerical results show that the system we consider has more complex dynamics including period solution, quasi-periodic oscillation, chaos, intermittency and crises.     

Weak average persistence and extinction of a predator–prey system in a polluted environment with impulsive toxicant input

In this paper, we have investigated a predator–prey system in a polluted environment with impulsive toxicant input at fixed moments. We have obtained two thresholds on the impulsive period by assuming the toxicant amount input is fixed to the environment at each pulse moment. If the impulsive period is greater than the big threshold, then both populations are weak average persistent. If the period lies between of the two thresholds, then the prey population will be weak average persistent while the predator population extinct. If the period is less than the small threshold, both populations tend to extinction. Finally, our theoretical results are confirmed by own numerical simulations.     

Global attractivity and permanence of a stage-structured pest management SI model with time delay and diseased pest impulsive transmission

In this paper, we consider a stage-structured pest management SI model with time delay and diseased pests impulsive transmission. We obtain the sufficient conditions of the global attractivity of pest-extinction boundary periodic solution and the permanence of the system. We also prove that all solutions of the system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Our results provide a reliable tactic basis for the practice of pest management.

Analysis of a predator–prey model with Holling II functional response concerning impulsive control strategy

According to biological and chemical control strategy for pest control, we investigate the dynamic behavior of a Holling II functional response predator–prey system concerning impulsive control strategy-periodic releasing natural enemies and spraying pesticide at different fixed times. By using Floquet theorem and small amplitude perturbation method, we prove that there exists a stable pest-eradication periodic solution when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. Further, the condition for the permanence of the system is also given. 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 periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic solutions, which implies that the presence of pulses makes the dynamic behavior more complex. Finally, we conclude that our impulsive control strategy is more effective than the classical one if we take chemical control efficiently.     

Dynamical behaviors of a prey-predator system with impulsive control

In this paper, we study dynamics of a prey-predator system under the impulsive control. Sufficient conditions of the existence and the stability of semi-trivial periodic solutions are obtained by using the analogue of the Poincaré criterion. It is shown that the positive periodic solution bifurcates from the semi-trivial periodic solution through a transcritical bifurcation. A strategy of impulsive state feedback control is suggested to ensure the persistence of two species. Furthermore, a steady positive period-2 solution bifurcates from the positive periodic solution by the flip bifurcation, and the chaotic solution is generated via a cascade of flip bifurcations. Numerical simulations are also illustrated which agree well with our theoretical analysis.

The dynamics of a Beddington-type system with impulsive control strategy

In this paper, by using the theories and methods of ecology and ordinary differential equation, a prey–predator system with Beddington-type functional response and impulsive control strategy is established. Conditions for the system to be extinct are given by using the theories of impulsive equation and small amplitude perturbation skills. It is proved that the system is permanent via the method of comparison involving multiple Liapunov functions. Furthermore, by using the method of numerical simulation, the influence of the impulsive control strategy on the inherent oscillation are investigated, which shows rich dynamics, such as period doubling bifurcation, crises, symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurcations, chaotic bands, quasi-periodic oscillation, narrow periodic window, wide periodic window, period-halving bifurcation, etc. That will be useful for study of the dynamic complexity of ecosystems.
