The onset of positive periodic solutions for a biochemical pest management model (Q1032013)

The authors study the bifurcation of nontrivial periodic solutions for an impulsively perturbed ODE system governing an integrated pest management strategy at the usage of the fixed point as in the previous article [\textit{P. Georgescu, H. Zhang} and \textit{L. Chen}, Appl. Math. Comput. 202, No. 2, 675--687 (2008; Zbl 1151.34037)]. However here is employed the different model. It is proved that the amount \(\mu\) of infective pests released each time equals a threshold value \(\mu_C\), then the trivial periodic solution looses its stability, which is transferred to a nontrivial periodic solution arising via a bifurcation.
