Stability Analysis of a Ratio-Dependent Predator-Prey Model Incorporating a Prey Refuge

A ratio-dependent predator-prey model incorporating a prey refuge with disease in the prey population is formulated and analyzed. The effects of time delay due to the gestation of the predator and stage structure for the predator on the dynamics of the system are concerned. By analyzing the correspo...

description A ratio-dependent predator-prey model incorporating a prey refuge with disease in the prey population is formulated and analyzed. The effects of time delay due to the gestation of the predator and stage structure for the predator on the dynamics of the system are concerned. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of a predator-extinction equilibrium and a coexistence equilibrium of the system is discussed, respectively. Further, it is proved that the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibrium, when τ=τ0. By comparison arguments, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global stability of the predator-extinction equilibrium. By using an iteration technique, sufficient conditions are derived for the global attractivity of the coexistence equilibrium of the proposed system.
