This study examines a predator-prey model with time delays, revealing Hopf bifurcation. Simulations show how time delays and advection impact system dynamics.
Area of Science:
- Mathematical Biology
- Theoretical Ecology
- Dynamical Systems
Background:
- Predator-prey models are fundamental in ecology.
- Advection and time delays introduce complex dynamics.
- Understanding these factors is crucial for ecological stability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze a diffusive predator-prey system incorporating advection and time delay.
- To investigate the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation as a function of conversion delay.
- To develop a method for determining Hopf bifurcation direction and stability.
Main Methods:
