This study presents a predator-prey model that challenges existing global stability criteria in mathematical biology. The findings demonstrate a specific model that disproves a previously established criterion for population dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Ecology
  • Dynamical Systems Theory

Background:

  • Predator-prey models are fundamental in understanding ecological dynamics.
  • Global stability criteria are essential for predicting long-term population behavior.
  • Previous criteria may not encompass all possible ecological interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a Gause-type predator-prey model.
  • To investigate models with concave prey isoclines and multiple limit cycles.
  • To provide a counter-example to Hsu's global stability criterion (1978).

Main Methods:

  • Development of a Gause-type predator-prey model.
  • Mathematical analysis of the model's phase plane.
  • Identification of conditions leading to multiple limit cycles.

Main Results:

  • Construction of a predator-prey model with a concave prey isocline.
  • Demonstration of the existence of at least two limit cycles.
  • The constructed model serves as a counter-example to Hsu's global stability criterion.

Conclusions:

  • The global stability criterion proposed by Hsu (1978) is not universally applicable.
  • Complex dynamics, including multiple limit cycles, can arise in predator-prey systems.
  • Further refinement of stability criteria in ecological modeling is warranted.
