Complex dynamics of Holling type II Lotka--Volterra predator--prey system with impulsive perturbations on the predator. (Q1419248)

The authors consider the so called Holling-type II predator-prey model with logistic term, subjected to an impulsive periodic perturbation that corresponds to punctuated predator in-migration. In the first part of the paper, the authors give conditions for the existence of bounded nontrivial soutions of the perturbed system. In the second part of the paper, a numerical exploration of the system is given, with the forcing amplitude as a parameter. The bifurcation diagram exhibits complex dynamical behaviour characteristic for periodically forced nonlinear oscillators.
