Stability Analysis of Leslie-Gower Model with Herd Behavior on Prey

Abstract

We studied the Leslie-Gower model of predator-prey with herd behavior. The square root functional response models predator and prey interactions that show herd behavior. This study aims to determine the formulation of the predator-prey model with herd behavior on prey, knowing the fixed points and its stability and simulating the model numerically. We found three fixed points that may exist: the extinction point of both species, the extinction of predator point, and the point of coexistence of the two species. The extinction of predator points is always unstable, while the point of coexistence of the two species can be stable under certain conditions. Due to the presence of square roots, the behavior of the solutions near the extinction point of the two species is not readily apparent. Numeric simulation shows that changing the initial condition and parameters can change the system's stability.Keywords: predator-prey; functional response; herd behavior; square root functional response, Leslie-Gower model. AbstrakArtikel membahas model predator prey Leslie-Gower dengan perilaku bergerombol pada prey. Interaksi predator dan prey yang menunjukkan perilaku bergerombol dimodelkan dengan fungsi respon akar kuadrat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui formulasi model predator-prey dengan perilaku bergerombol pada prey, mengetahui titik ekuilibrium dan kestabilannya serta menyimulasikan model tersebut secara numerik. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat tiga titik tetap yang mungkin eksis, yaitu titik kepunahan kedua spesies, titik kepunahan predator dan titik koeksistensi kedua spesies. Titik kepunahan predator selalu tidak stabil, sedangkan titik koeksistensi kedua spesies bisa stabil dengan syarat tertentu. Karena adanya akar kuadrat, perilaku solusi di dekat titik kepunahan kedua spesies tidak mudah terlihat. Simulasi numerik menunjukkan bahwa perubahan nilai awal dan parameter dapat mengubah kestabilan sistem.Kata Kunci: predator prey; fungsi respons; perilaku bergerombol; fungsi respon akar kuadrat; model Leslie-Gower.

Analisis Dinamik Model Predator-prey dengan Perilaku Anti Predator serta Efek Allee pada Prey

“…The relationship between prey and predator is one of the most extensively studied topics in mathematical modeling. The first model that described the interaction between prey and predator, subsequently referred to as the predator-prey model, was introduced by Lotka and Volterra and later became known as the Lotka-Volterra model [1]. Leslie and Gower assumed that the populations of prey and predators grow logistically and are limited by environmental capacity or carrying capacity [2].…”
