Complexity Analysis of a Modified Predator-Prey System with Beddington–DeAngelis Functional Response and Allee-Like Effect on Predator

Abstract

In this paper, complex dynamical behaviors of a predator-prey system with the Beddington–DeAngelis functional response and the Allee-like effect on predator were studied by qualitative analysis and numerical simulations. Theoretical derivations have given some sufficient and threshold conditions to guarantee the occurrence of transcritical, saddle-node, pitchfork, and nondegenerate Hopf bifurcations. Computer simulations have verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the theoretical results. In short, we hope that these works could provide a theoretical basis for future research of complexity in more predator-prey ecosystems.
