On some notions of chaos in dimension zero

Rafał Pikuła (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We compare four different notions of chaos in zero-dimensional systems (subshifts). We provide examples showing that in that case positive topological entropy does not imply strong chaos, strong chaos does not imply complicated dynamics at all, and ω-chaos does not imply Li-Yorke chaos.

Homoclinic orbits in a two-patch predator-prey model with Preisach hysteresis operator

Alexander Pimenov, Dmitrii Rachinskii (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Systems of operator-differential equations with hysteresis operators can have unstable equilibrium points with an open basin of attraction. Such equilibria can have homoclinic orbits attached to them, and these orbits are robust. In this paper a population dynamics model with hysteretic response of the prey to variations of the predator is introduced. In this model the prey moves between two patches, and the derivative of the Preisach operator is used to describe the hysteretic flow...

A discrete predator-prey system with age-structure for predator and natural barriers for prey

Sanyi Tang, Lansun Chen (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

We analyze a two species discrete predator-prey model in which the prey disperses between two patches of a heterogeneous environment with barriers and the mature predator disperses between the patches with no barrier. By using the discrete dynamical system generated by a monotone, concave maps for subcommunity of prey, we obtain the subcommunity of prey exists an equilibrium which attracts all positive solutions, and using the stability trichotomy results on the monotone and continuous...
