Dynamics of a Discrete Nonlinear Prey–Predator Model

Abstract

The dynamics of a discrete nonlinear prey–predator model is studied. The local dynamical results are obtained on asymptotic properties of fixed points and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. Then global dynamics is studied by finding invariant sets. Also some achievements on attraction are shown for certain trivial invariant sets including a shadowing type result, and estimates on boundedness of orbits. Some ergodic type results are also derived. Certain issues are extended to systems with impulses by showing the influence of impulses on dynamics. Moreover, backward dynamics is investigated as well. All these results are derived analytically and numerical computations are presented to support them.
