Stationary Localised Patterns for Two Types of Predator and Prey Models.
Abstract
Inquiries into biological applications using mathematical models have
been extensively examined over the years
\cite{Murray:2003}. However, investigations into the
existence of localised structures region has been limited and,
therefore, examinations into solution types and patterns formations have
not been thoroughly discussed. This study will, consequently, present
the existence of localised structures region and the type of pattern
formations for two predator-prey models using a system of
reaction-diffusion equations with dissimilar nonlinearity functional
responses for each of the two models. Linear and weakly nonlinear
analysis with supporting numerical methods are the mathematical tools
for the analysis. Upon applying these tool, the mathematical
explorations generate a particular set of system parameter conditions
for: pattern formation (spatial instability); the Belyckov-Devaney
transition; the coexistent of the codimension two point and localised
patterns formation. Further, the use of spectral computations and
numerical simulations on each model’s system of equations will expose
how the Hopf bifurcation influences the localised structures region.
Consequently, this influence will unveil the rise of temporally periodic
localised patterns at ‘certain’ nearby parameter values. Finally, the
numerical outcomes in two dimensional space confirms the onset of
intricate spatio-temporal patterns within the conformable parameter
regions within one dimensional space.
