LOCAL STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A PREDATOR-PREY DYNAMICS INCORPORATING BOTH SPECIES DENSITY INCREASING FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE

Abstract

Most of the functional responses which have been incorporated to formulate mathematical biology consider individual contact or predator cooperation. In this study, we have introduced a different functional response that describes the prey-predator system when predators form a line and cooperatively attack a group of predators. We have also described the effect of prey on this system. Additionally, we find all the equilibrium points and their local stability behaviour.
