Stability and bifurcation in a delayed predator-prey model with
Holling-type IV response function and age structure
Yuting Cai, Chuncheng Wang, Dejun Fan
Abstract:
In this article, we study a predator-prey model with age structure, Holling-type IV
response, and two time delays. By an algebraic method, we determine all the critical
values for these two delays, such that the characteristic equation has purely
imaginary roots. This provides a sharp stability region on the parameter plane
of the positive equilibrium. Applying integrated semigroup theory and Hopf
bifurcation theorem for abstract Cauchy problems with non-dense domain,
we can show the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation as the time delays pass
through these critical values. In particular, the phenomenon of stability switches
can also be observed as the time delays vary. Numerical simulations are carried
out to illustrate the theoretical results.
