Hopf periodic orbits for a ratio-dependent predator-prey model with stage structure

A ratio-dependent predator-prey model with stage structure for prey was investigated in [8]. There the authors mentioned that they were unable to show if such a model admits limit cycles when the unique equilibrium point E ∗ at the positive octant is unstable. Here we characterize the existence of H...

Descripción
Sumario:A ratio-dependent predator-prey model with stage structure for prey was investigated in [8]. There the authors mentioned that they were unable to show if such a model admits limit cycles when the unique equilibrium point E ∗ at the positive octant is unstable. Here we characterize the existence of Hopf bifurcations for the systems. In particular we provide a positive answer to the above question showing for such models the existence of small-amplitude Hopf limit cycles being the equilibrium point E ∗ unstable.
