Pattern Formation in Tri-Trophic Ratio-Dependent Food Chain Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a spatial tri-trophic food chain model with ratio-dependent Michaelis-Menten type functional response under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions is studied. Conditions for Hopf and Turing bifurcation are derived. Sufficient conditions for the emergence of spatial patterns are obtained. The results of numerical simulations reveal the formation of labyrinth patterns and the coexistence of spotted and stripelike patterns.

Ratio-Dependent Food Chain Models with Three Trophic Levels
In this paper we study a food chain model with three trophic levels and Michaelis-Menten type ratio-dependent functional response. Distinctive feature of this model is the sensitive dependence of the dynamical behavior on the initial populations and parameters of the real world. The stability of the equilibrium points are also investigated. Keywords—Food chain, Ratio dependent models, Three lev...
متن کاملStability, bifurcations and chaotic dynamics in a delayed hybrid tri-trophic food chain model with Holling type-II and Leslie-Gower type functional responses
In this paper the qualitative behaviour of a delayed tri-trophic food chain model with Holling type II and modified Leslie-Gower functional responses is studied. Condition for existence and local stability of the interior equilibrium of the model are derived. Hopf bifurcation analysis is discussed by considering gestation time delay as bifurcation parameter. Applying normal form method and cent...
متن کاملFood chain dynamics in the chemostat.
The asymptotic behavior of a tri-trophic food chain model in the chemostat is studied. The Monod-Herbert growth model is used for all trophic levels. The analysis is carried out numerically, by finding both local and global bifurcations of equilibria and of limit cycles with respect to two chemostat control parameters: the dilution rate of the chemostat and the concentration of input substrate....
متن کاملA ratio-dependent food chain model and its applications to biological control.
While biological controls have been successfully and frequently implemented by nature and human, plausible mathematical models are yet to be found to explain the often observed deterministic extinctions of both pest and control agent in such processes. In this paper we study a three trophic level food chain model with ratio-dependent Michaelis-Menten type functional responses. We shall show tha...
متن کاملStationary Pattern of a Ratio-Dependent Food Chain Model with Diffusion
In the paper, we investigate a three-species food chain model with diffusion and ratio-dependent predation functional response. We mainly focus on the coexistence of the three species. For this coupled reaction-diffusion system, we study the persistent property of the solution, the stability of the constant positive steady state solution, and the existence and nonexistence of nonconstant positi...
