Bifurcations in a predator-prey model with discrete and distributed time delay

In this paper, a class of predator-prey model with discrete and distributed time delay is considered. Its dynamics are studied in terms of local analysis and Hopf bifurcation analysis. By using the normal form theory and center manifold theory, we derive some explicit formulae for determining the stability and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis are also provided. Finally, main conclusions are included.
