Discrete Leslie's model with bifurcations and control

Abstract

We explored a local stability analysis at fixed points, bifurcations, and a control in a discrete Leslie's prey-predator model in the interior of $ \mathbb{R}_+^2 $. More specially, it is examined that for all parameters, Leslie's model has boundary and interior equilibria, and the local stability is studied by the linear stability theory at equilibrium. Additionally, the model does not undergo a flip bifurcation at the boundary fixed point, though a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation exists at the interior fixed point, and no other bifurcation exists at this point. Furthermore, the Neimark-Sacker bifurcation is controlled by a hybrid control strategy. Finally, numerical simulations that validate the obtained results are given.
