The dynamics of a prey-predator system, where predator has two stages, a juvenile stage and a mature stage, is modelled by a system of three ordinary differential equations. Stability and permanence of the system are discussed. Furthermore, we consider the harvesting of prey species and obtain the maximum sustainable yield and the optimal harvesting policy.
A diffusive delayed predator-prey model with modified Leslie-Gower and Holling-type II schemes is considered. Local stability for each constant steady state is studied by analyzing the eigenvalues. Some simple and easily verifiable sufficient conditions for global stability are obtained by virtue of the stability of the related FDE and some monotonous iterative sequences. Numerical simulations and reasonable biological explanations are carried out to illustrate the main results and the justification...
We consider a generalized 1-D von Foerster equation. We present two discretization methods for the initial value problem and study stability of finite difference schemes on regular meshes.
We study stability switches for some class of delay differential equations with one discrete delay. We describe and use a simple method of checking the change of stability which originally comes from the paper of Cook and Driessche (1986). We explain this method on the examples of three types of prey-predator models with delay and compare the dynamics of these models under increasing delay.
Two species of animals are competing in the same environment. Under what conditions do they coexist peacefully? Or under what conditions does either one of the two species become extinct, that is, is either one of the two species excluded by the other? It is natural to say that they can coexist peacefully if their rates of reproduction and self-limitation are relatively larger than those of competition rates. In other words, they can survive if they interact strongly among themselves and weakly...
An integral Markov operator appearing in biomathematics is investigated. This operator acts on the space of probabilistic Borel measures. Let and be probabilistic Borel measures. Sufficient conditions for weak and strong convergence of the sequence to are given.
In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of positive and periodic solutions of nonlinear delay integral systems of the type
With a reaction-diffusion system, we consider the dispersing two-species Lotka-Volterra model with a temporally periodic interruption of the interspecific competitive relationship. We assume that the competition coefficient becomes a given positive constant and zero by turns periodically in time. We investigate the condition for the coexistence of two competing species in space, especially in the bistable case for the population dynamics without dispersion. We could find that the spatial coexistence,...
Although age-related heterogeneity of infection has been addressed in various epidemic models assuming a demographically stationary population, only a few studies have explicitly dealt with age-specific patterns of transmission in growing or decreasing population. To discuss the threshold principle realistically, the present study investigates an age-duration-structured SIR epidemic model assuming a stable host population, as the first scheme to account for the non-stationality of the host population....
