BIFURCATION AND CONTROL FOR A DISCRETE–TIME PREY–PREDATOR MODEL WITH HOLLING–IV FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE

The dynamics of a discrete-time predator–prey model with Holling-IV functional response are investigated. It is shown that the model undergoes a flip bifurcation, a Hopf bifurcation and a saddle-node bifurcation by using the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. Numerical simulations not only exhibit our results with the theoretical analysis, but als
