Our results reveal that low immigration rates stabilize the system, ensuring predictable population dynamics, while exceeding critical thresholds induces complex behaviors, such as periodic oscillations and chaos. We numerically analyze the dynamics associated with 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 resonances, utilizing two-parameter bifurcation diagrams and basins of attraction to illustrate the transitions and stability boundaries. These findings highlight the dual role of immigration in stabilizing and destabilizing ecosystems, offering valuable insights for ecological modeling, management, and conservation strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"233 ","pages":"Pages 39-59"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143226047","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}

With a quadratic cost function for the monopolist, we explore how the price elasticity of demand influences monopolistic behavior under different (decreasing, constant, and increasing) returns to scale. The combination of the general isoelastic demand and quadratic cost functions leads to a transcendental equilibrium equation, making closed-form solutions unattainable. To address this challenge, we develop an innovative approach that leverages the specific structure of marginal revenue and cost to conduct a comprehensive comparative static and stability analysis. Additionally, we introduce two dynamic models based on distinct adjustment mechanisms: gradient and local monopolistic approximation (LMA). Our findings reveal that the LMA model is more stable in both parameter and state spaces compared to the gradient model. Notably, we prove that the unique non-vanishing equilibrium of the LMA model is globally asymptotically stable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"233 ","pages":"Pages 75-98"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143226663","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}
