HETEROCLINIC BIFURCATIONS OF A PREY–PREDATOR FISHERY MODEL WITH IMPULSIVE HARVESTING

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a prey–predator fishery model with Allee effect and state-dependent impulsive harvesting. First, we investigate the existence of order-1 heteroclinic cycle. Second, choosing p as a control parameter, we obtain the sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of order-1 periodic solution of system (2.3) by using the geometry theory of semi-continuous dynamic systems. Finally, on the basis of the theory of rotated vector fields, heteroclinic bifurcation to perturbed system of system (2.3) is also studied. The methods used in this paper are novel to prove the existence of order-1 heteroclinic cycle and heteroclinic bifurcations.
