BIFURCATIONS OF DEGENERATE SINGULAR POINT OF A PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH HOLLING-IV FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE

A predator-prey system with Holling-IV functional response is investigated. It is shown that the system has a positive equilibrium, which is a cusp of co-dimension 2 under certain conditions. When the parameters vary in a small neighborhood of the values of parameters, the model undergoes the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. Dif- ferent kinds of bifurcation phenomena are exhibited, which include the saddle-node bifurcation, the Hopf bifurcation and the homo-clinic bifurcation. Some computer simulations are presented to illustrate the conclusions.     

THE LIMIT CYCLES AND HOPF BIFURCATION OF A CLASS OF SIMPLIFIED HOLLING TYPE-IV PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH LINEAR STATE FEEDBACK

In this paper, a class of simplified Type-IV predator-prey system with linear state feedback is investigated. We prove the boundedness of the positive solutions to this system, and analyze the quality of the equilibria and the existence of limit cycles of the system surrounding the positive equilibra. By Hopf bifurcation theory, the result of having two limit cycles to the system is obtained.
