RAPPORT Remarks on food chain dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
The main modes of behavior of a food chain model, composed of logistic prey and Holling type II predator and superpredator, are discussed in this paper. The study is carried out through bifurcation analysis, alternating between a normal form approach and numerical continuation. The two-parameter bifurcation diagram of the model contains Hopf, fold and transcritical bifurcation curves of equilibria as well as ip, fold and transcritical bifurcation curves of limit cycles. The appearance of chaos in the model is proved to be related to a Hopf bifurcation and a degenerate homoclinic bifurcation in the prey-predator subsystem. The boundary of the chaotic region is shown to have a very peculiar structure.

An Analysis on The Lotka-Volterra Food Chain Model: Stability
The food chain refers to a natural system by which energy is transmitted from one organism to another. In fact, a food chain consists of producers, consumers and decomposition. Presence of complex food web increase the stability of the ecosystem. Classical food chain theory arises from Lotka-Volterra model. In the present paper, the dynamics behavior of three level food chain is studied. A syst...
متن کاملDynamics of Food Chain Model: Role of Alternative Resource for Top Predator
In this paper, effect of alternative resource for top predator in food chain model with holling type III functional response is seen . Proposed model is demonstrated in respect of analytical as well numerical results. Bifurcation study with the variation of alternative resource and half saturation constants are done numerically. Simulation results shows that suitable alternati...

This work investigates the effect of different inventory policies of a supply chain model using the system dynamics approach which belongs to the class of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), automatic pipeline, inventory and order based production control systems (VMI-APIOBPCS). This work helps management to investigate the effect of different policies such as adding the VMI system or third party l...
متن کاملA System Dynamics Model for Joint Upstream and Downstream Partner Selection in a Supply Chain Consisting of Suppliers and Retailers
Firms no longer compete as autonomous entities and prefer to join in a supply chain alliance to take advantage of highly competitive business situation. Supply chain coordination has a great impact on strategic partnering and success of a firm in competitive business environment. In this paper, we propose a system dynamics simulation model for strategic partner selection in supply chain. Our mo...
