Prey, on the other hand, try to strike a balance between reproduction rates and safety. In our study, we introduce a two-dimensional prey–predator model inspired by Tostowaryk’s work, specifically focusing on the domed-shaped functional response observed in interactions between pentatomid predators and neo-diprionid sawfly larvae. To account for the varying effectiveness of larval group defense, we incorporate a new component into the response equation. Our investigation delves into predator trade-off dynamics by adjusting the predator’s mortality rate to reflect losses incurred during encounters with dangerous prey and prey’s trade-off between safety and reproduction rate incorporating this domed-shaped functional response. Our model demonstrates bistability and undergoes various bifurcations, including transcritical, saddle-node, Hopf, Bogdanov–Takens, and Homoclinic bifurcations. Critical parameters impact both predator and prey populations, potentially leading to predator extinction if losses due to dangerous prey encounters become excessive, highlighting the risks predators face for their survival. Furthermore, the efficacy of group defense mechanisms can further endanger predators. Expanding our analysis to a spatially extended model under different perturbations, we explore Turing instability to explain the relationship between diffusion and encounter parameters through both stationary and dynamic pattern formation. Sensitivity to initial conditions uncovers spatiotemporal chaos. These findings provide valuable insights into comprehending the intricate dynamics of prey–predator interactions within ecological systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":50337,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140577480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These chemicals can have diverse effects on competitors, ranging from inhibition to stimulation of species’ growth. This work constructs a competition model that incorporates stimulatory substances, spatial effects, and multiple time lags to investigate the combined impact of these phenomena on competitors’ growth. When the stimulation rate from the produced chemicals falls within a suitable threshold interval, all species within the system can coexist. Under the species’ coexistence, their diffusive phenomenon leads to a spatially heterogeneous distribution, resulting in patchy structures (Turing patterns) within their habitat. As the parameter values exceed their thresholds, species begin to exhibit spatially periodic oscillations (spatial Hopf bifurcation). The presence of multiple delays and competitors’ diffusion contributes to spatially complex and heterogeneous behaviors (Turing–Hopf bifurcation). The results help us understand the underlying mechanisms behind these heterogeneous behaviors and enable us to mitigate their negative impact on species’ growth and harvest.

Though a lot of results have been obtained, it still remains unsolved for higher co-dimensional bifurcations. The main purpose of this paper is devoted to the computation of a codimension-3 zero-Hopf–Hopf bifurcation, at which a zero as well as two pairs of pure imaginary eigenvalues can be found from the matrix evaluated at the equilibrium point. Different distributions of eigenvalues are considered, which may behave in a non-semisimple form for 1:1 internal resonance. Based on the combination of center manifold and normal form theory, all the coefficients of normal forms and nonlinear transformations are derived explicitly in terms of parameters of the original vector field, which are obtained via a recursive procedure. Accordingly, a user friendly computer program using a symbolic computation language <i>Maple</i> is developed to compute the coefficients up to an arbitrary order for a specific vector field with zero-Hopf–Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, universal unfolding parameters are derived in terms of the perturbation of physical parameters, which can be employed to investigate the local behaviors in the neighborhood of the bifurcation point.

Magnetization dynamics in such complex systems is governed by the Landau–Lifshitz–Slonczewski equation which describes the precessional motion of (dimensionless) magnetization vector on the unit-sphere. The relevant case of nanoparticles with uniaxial anisotropy having in-plane easy and intermediate axes as well as out-of-plane hard axis is considered. By exploiting the characteristic smallness of damping and spin-torque intensity, the complexity of the magnetic system’s dynamic is dealt with by employing tools borrowed from Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory. More precisely, the aforementioned controls are constructed via suitable perturbative tools in a way to realize approximate <i>latitudinal solutions</i> (i.e. motions on a sphere in which the out-of-plane magnetization component stays constant) with the effect to fast “switch” the system from one stationary state to another. The possibility to keep a (“small”) bounded value of the out-of-plane coordinate throughout this process of “transfer” turns out to be advantageous in the applications as it sensibly reduces the post-switching relaxation oscillations that may cause the failure of switching in real samples. Further relevant quantitative results on the behavior of the solutions during the pre- and post-switching stages (termed “expulsion” and “attraction”, respectively) are given as a by-product.
