Prey-Predator Interactions in Two and Three Species Population Models
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-17)Discrete nonlinear two and three species prey-predator models are considered. Focus is on stability and nonstationary behaviour. Regarding the two species model, depending on the fecundity of the predator, we show that the transfer from stability to instability goes through either a supercritical flip or a supercritical Neimark-Sacker bifurcation and moreover that there exist multiple attractors in ... -
