Dynamics of a Predator-Prey System with Beddington-DeAngelis Functional Response and Delays

Abstract EN

We consider a predator-prey system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response and delays, in which not only the stage structure on prey but also the delay due to digestion is considered.

First, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of a unique positive equilibrium by analyzing the corresponding locations of a hyperbolic curve and a line.

Then, by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function, we prove that the positive equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable under a sufficient condition.

Finally, by using comparison theorem and the ω-limit set theory, we study the global asymptotic stability of the boundary equilibrium and the positive equilibrium, respectively.

Also, we obtain a sufficient condition to assure the global asymptotic stability.
