Stability Property for the Predator-Free Equilibrium Point of Predator-Prey Systems with a Class of Functional Response and Prey Refuges

Abstract

We investigate the stability property for the predator-free equilibrium point of predator-prey systems with a class of functional response and prey refuges by using the analytical approach. Under some very weakly assumption, we show that conditions that ensure the locally asymptotically stable of the predator-free equilibrium point are consistent with that of the globally asymptotically stable ones. Our result supplements the corresponding result of Ma et al., 2009.
