In this study, a general model of interacting species consisting of two competing prey and a predator under the presence of pollution is formed. Criteria for the existence of equilibria and their (local and global) stability are derived. The conditions for persistence and bifurcation have also been derived. With the help of numerical simulation, it is shown how the change in the pollution level results in species extinction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
