Global Dynamics of a Predator–Prey System with Variation Multiple Pulse Intervention Effects by Gang Wang, Ming Yi, Zaiyun Zhang

“…Based on the implicit function theorem, the bifurcation of the pest-present periodic solution of the system is investigated under certain conditions, which is more rigorous than the corresponding traditional proving method. In addition, by employing the variational method, the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix at the fixed point corresponding to the pest-free periodic solution are determined, resulting in a sufficient condition for its local stability, and the threshold condition for the global attractiveness of the pest-free periodic solution is provided in terms of an indicator <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>R</mi><mi>a</mi></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>. …”
