Non-constant positive steady states of a prey-predator system with cross-diffusions

In this paper, we study a strongly coupled elliptic system arising from a Lotka-Volterra prey-predator system, where cross-diffusions are included in such a way that the prey runs away from the predator and the predator moves away from a large group of preys. We establish the existence and non-existence of its non-constant positive solutions. Our results show that if m₁b<a<2m₁b/(1−m₁m₂) when 0<m₁m₂<1 or a>m₁b when m₁m₂?1, , d₂>0, d₃?0 and , then there exists (d₁,d₂,d₃,d₄) such that the stationary problem admits non-constant positive solutions. Otherwise, the stationary problem has no non-constant positive solution. In particular, the results indicate that its non-constant positive solutions are mainly created by the cross-diffusion d₄.     

Dynamics of a delay-diffusion prey-predator model with disease in the prey

A mathematical model dealing with a prey-predator system with disease in the prey is considered. The functional response of the predator is governed by a Hoilling type-II function. Mathematical analysis of the model regarding stability and persistence has been performed. The effect of delay and diffusion on the above system is studied. The role of diffusivity on stability and persistence criteria of the system has also been discussed.     

Non-constant positive steady state of one resource and two consumers model with diffusion

In this paper, a predator-prey reaction-diffusion system with one resource and two consumers is considered. Assume that one consumer species exhibits Holling II functional response while the other consumer species exhibits Beddington-DeAngelis functional response, and they compete for the common resource. First, it is proved that the unique positive constant steady state is stable for the ODE system and the reaction-diffusion system. Second, a prior estimates of positive steady state is given. Finally, the non-existence of non-constant positive steady state, the existence and bifurcation of non-constant positive steady state are studied.     

Analysis of a Prey-predator Model with Disease in Prey

In this paper, a system of reaction-diffusion equations arising in ecoepidemiological systems is investigated. The equations model a situation in which a predator species and a prey species inhabit the same bounded region and the predator only eats the prey with transmissible diseases. Local stability of the constant positive solution is considered. A number of existence and non-existence results about the nonconstant steady states of a reaction diffusion system are given. It is proved that if the diffusion coefficient of the prey with disease is treated as a bifurcation parameter, non-constant positive steady-state solutions may bifurcate from the constant steadystate solution under some conditions.

Stochastic analysis of prey-predator model with stage structure for prey

The present paper deals with the effect of environmental fluctuation on a prey-predator model with stage structure for prey population. We have studied the stochastic behaviour of the model system around coexisting equilibrium point. Stochastic stability condition in mean square sense is obtained for the stage-structured model with help of a suitable Lyapunov function. Numerical simulations are carried out to substantiate the analytical findings. The main outcomes of mathematical findings are mentioned in conclusion section.     

Non-constant positive steady-states of a diffusive predator-prey system in homogeneous environment

In this paper, we investigate the existence and non-existence of non-constant positive steady-states of a diffusive predator-prey interaction system under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. In homogeneous environment, we show that the predator-prey model with Leslie-Gower functional response has no non-constant positive solution, but the system with a general functional response may have at least one non-constant positive steady-state under some conditions.     

Nonselective harvesting of a prey-predator community with infected prey

The present paper deals with the problem of nonselective harvesting in a partly infected prey and predator system in which both the susceptible prey and the predator follow the law of logistic growth and some preys avoid predation by hiding. The dynamical behaviour of the system has been studied in both the local and global sense. The optimal policy of exploitation has been derived by using Pontraygin’s maximal principle. Numerical analysis and computer simulation of the results have been performed to investigate the global properties of the system.     

Stationary patterns created by cross-diffusion for the competitor-competitor-mutualist model

In this paper we consider a competitor-competitor-mutualist model with cross-diffusion. We prove some existence and non-existence results concerning non-constant positive steady-states (patterns). In particular, we demonstrate that the cross-diffusion can create patterns when the corresponding model without cross-diffusion fails.     

An impulsive predator–prey model with disease in the prey for integrated pest management

In this paper, an impulsive predator–prey model with disease in the prey is investigated for the purpose of integrated pest management. In the first part of the main results, we get the sufficient condition for the global stability of the susceptible pest-eradication periodic solution. This means if the release amount of infective prey and predator satisfy the condition, then the pest will be doomed. In the second part of the main results, we also get the sufficient condition for the permanence of the system. This means if the release amount of infective prey and predator satisfy the condition, then the prey and the predator will coexist. In the last section, we interpret our mathematical results. We also point out some possible future work.     

Existence of positive solutions for a prey-predator model with refuge and diffusion

We are concerned with a prey-predator reaction-diffusion model with monotonic functional response and specific refuge size. We discuss both existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of the model by using fixed point index theory and bifurcation theory as the main argument tools. We also discuss bifurcation solutions of which stability is established by using spectrum analysis methods. Moreover, we analyze the effects of refuge size on the dynamics of the model.

Multiplicity of positive almost periodic solutions in a delayed Hassell–Varley‐type predator–prey model with harvesting on prey

In this paper, we consider a delayed Hassell–Varley‐type predator–prey model with harvesting on prey. By means of Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, some new sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of at least two positive almost periodic solutions for the aforementioned model. To the best of the author's knowledge, so far, the result of this paper is completely new. An example is employed to illustrate the result of this paper.

This paper deals with a variable diffusion predator–prey model with additive Allee effect. A good understanding of the existence of steady states is gained for the case  $\sigma =0$.

Moreover, by applying the singular perturbation method, we give a proof of existence of large amplitude solutions when  $\sigma$ is sufficiently small.     

Positive solutions for a Lotka-Volterra prey-predator model with cross-diffusion and Holling type-Ⅱ functional response

We consider a Lotka-Volterra prey-predator model with cross-diffusion and Holling type-II functional response.The main concern is the existence of positive solutions under the combined effect of cross-diffusion and Holling type-II functional response.Here,a positive solution corresponds to a coexistence state of the model.Firstly,we study the sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of positive solutions by using degree theory and analyze the coexistence region in parameter plane.In addition,we present the uniqueness of positive solutions in one dimension case.Secondly,we study the stability of the trivial and semi-trivial solutions by analyzing the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding linearized system,and then we characterize the stable/unstable regions of semi-trivial solutions in parameter plane.     

Predator–prey harvesting model with fatal disease in prey

A theoretical eco‐epidemiological model of a prey–predator interaction system with disease in prey species is studied. Predator consumes both susceptible and infected prey population, but predator also feeds preferentially on many numerous species, which are over represented in the predator's diet. Equilibrium points of the system are determined, and the dynamic behaviour of the system is investigated around equilibrium points. Death rate of predator species is considered as a bifurcation parameter to examine the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation in the neighbourhood of the coexisting equilibria. Numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytical results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Analysis of a nonautonomous eco‐epidemic diffusive model with disease in the prey

This paper deals with the behavior of positive solutions to a nonautonomous reaction‐diffusion system with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, which describes a two‐species predator‐prey system in which there is an infectious disease in prey. The sufficient condition on the permanence of the prey and the predator is established by combining the comparison principle with the results related to the corresponding ODE system. Some sufficient conditions for the spreading and vanishing of the disease are obtained. The global attractivity is also discussed by constructing a Lyapunov functional. Our results show that the disease is spreading if the transmission rate is suitably large, while if the transmission rate is small, the disease must be vanishing.
