Dynamics of a Discrete Two-species Competitive Model with Michaelies-Menten Type Harvesting in the First Species

In this paper, we use a semidiscretization method to derive a discrete two-species competitive model with Michaelis-Menten type harvesting in the first species. First, the existence and local stability of fixed points of the system are investigated by employing a key lemma. Subsequently, the transcritical bifurcation, period-doubling bifurcation and pitchfork bifurcation of the model are investigated by using the Center Manifold Theorem and bifurcation theory. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate corresponding theoretical results.
