Dynamics of discrete predator- prey system with fear effect and density dependent birth rate of the prey species

Abstract

This paper analyses a discrete predator-prey system with fear effect and density dependent birth rate of the prey species. The fixed points of the system are determined and their stability is examined. The criterion for Neimark-Sacker bifurcation and flip bifurcation is developed. The chaotic orbit at an unstable fixed point can be stabilized by applying the state feedback control method. Numerically, we illustrate our analytical findings and observe the complex behaviour of the system that leads to stable state to chaotic one.
