On a diffusive predator-prey model with nonlinear harvesting
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a diffusive Leslie-Gower model with a nonlinear harvesting term on the prey. We analyze the existence of positive equilibria and their dynamical behaviors. In particular, we consider the model with a weak harvesting term and find the conditions for the local a...

description | In this paper, we study the dynamics of a diffusive Leslie-Gower model with a nonlinear harvesting term on the prey. We analyze the existence of positive equilibria and their dynamical behaviors. In particular, we consider the model with a weak harvesting term and find the conditions for the local and global asymptotic stability of the interior equilibrium. The global stability is established by considering a proper Lyapunov function. In contrast, the model with strong harvesting term has two interior equilibria and bi-stability may occur for this system. We also give the conditions of Turing instability and perform a series of numerical simulations and find that the model exhibits complex patterns. |
