Heteroclinic bifurcation for a general predator-prey model with Allee effect and state feedback impulsive control strategy by Qizhen Xiao, Binxiang Dai

“…In this paper, we analyze a general predator-prey modelwith state feedback impulsive harvesting strategies in which the prey species displays a strongAllee effect. We firstly show the existence of order-$1$ heteroclinic cycle and order-$1$ positive periodic solutions by using the geometric theory of differential equations for the unperturbed system. …”
