Abstract:
Pest control is a worldwide challenge. An approach that has been developed to meet this challenge is the integrated pest management (IPM) strategy, which aims to offer environmentally sensitive solutions to pest problems, and takes into account the complex dynamics involved in the design of controlling pests. In this paper, we propose a discrete switching host-parasitoid model with a threshold control strategy, meanwhile, provide some qualitative analyses of the complexity of dynamic behaviors of the model that includes single and multi-parameter bifurcations and chaos. Furthermore, we do some numerical bifurcations and parameter sensibility analysis, revealing how the key control parameters and initial interaction state between the two populations affect pest control, as well as the dynamical balance between of the hosts and parasitoids. The model and analytical techniques developed in this work could be applied in other settings relevant to threshold control strategies.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
