Dynamics of a Discrete Prey–Predator Model with Mixed Functional Response

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a discrete Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model with Holling type-I and -II functional responses. We investigate the stability of the fixed points of this model. Also, we study the effects of changing each control parameter on the long-time behavior of the model. This model contains a lot of complex dynamical behaviors ranging from a stable fixed point to chaotic attractors. Finally, we illustrate the analytical results by some numerical simulations.
