However, researches on the evaporation suppression as part of this positive feedback remain limited. To deeply explore the influence of positive feedback effect on the stability of positive equilibrium point in local and nonlocal grazing systems, we propose and investigate a nonlocal grazing vegetation water model system with saturated evaporation suppression effect and soil water diffusion intensity. The eigenvalue method is used to analyze the stability of the positive equilibrium point, and different parameters are controlled to analyze the influence on the stability of the positive equilibrium point in the local and nonlocal systems. Our results show that in the absence of evaporation suppression, overgrazing may lead to the disappearance of positive equilibrium points, indicating desertification in semi-arid regions. In the presence of evaporation suppression, the grazing intensity beyond a certain threshold may destabilize the system, resulting in Hopf bifurcations. Moreover, inhomogeneous Hopf bifurcations do not occur under the nonlocal grazing. Furthermore, we obtain that the positive feedback effect with soil water diffusion affects the stability of positive equilibrium points and leads to the occurrence of Turing instability. Note that the range of the intensity of soil water diffusion that causes Turing instability becomes small for the nonlocal grazing system. Numerical simulations reveal that the nonlocal grazing is more conducive to the growth and survival of vegetation compared to the local grazing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"241 ","pages":"Pages 689-703"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a threshold control strategy based on a non-smooth Filippov system, wherein the weighted sum of the susceptible population size and its change rate determines whether to enforce vaccination and isolation measures. We investigate the impact of this strategy on the dynamics of infectious disease transmission and analyze the effects of intermittent vaccination and isolation strategies with nonlinear recovery and threshold control functions. Based on the dynamics of subsystems, we analyze the sliding mode and the properties of the sliding regions, as well as the existence of the pseudo-equilibria. Additionally, we analyze the codimension-1 boundary equilibrium bifurcations of the proposed system, including boundary node bifurcation, boundary stable/unstable focus bifurcation, and boundary unstable-stable focus bifurcation. Leveraging the rich codimension-1 boundary equilibrium bifurcations, we explore two types of codimension-2 bifurcations and numerically illustrate the homoclinic boundary focus bifurcation and boundary Hopf bifurcation. Through an in-depth examination of boundary equilibrium bifurcations, we discover that the proposed system displays complex dynamical behaviors under different parameter values, including the emergence of new limit cycles, saddle–node bifurcations and grazing bifurcations of limit cycles. The main results indicate that under a specific control strategy, there exists a threshold value for the weighted sum of the size and change rate of the susceptible population that can effectively control the spread of infectious diseases. Moreover, whether the infected population remains low is contingent on the system’s initial state. Consequently, tailored and comprehensive control strategies must be devised to address the distinct characteristics of different population groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"241 ","pages":"Pages 704-726"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
