Dynamic analysis of a hybrid bioeconomic plankton system with double time delays and stochastic fluctuations

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a double delayed hybrid bioeconomic plankton system with stochastic fluctuations and commercial harvesting on zooplankton, where maturation delay for toxin producing phytoplankton and gestation delay for zooplankton are considered. Stochastic fluctuations are incorporated into the proposed system in form of Gaussian white noises to depict stochastic environmental factors in plankton system. For deterministic system without double time delays, existence of singularity induced bifurcation is studied due to variation of economic interest of commercial harvesting, and state feedback controllers are designed to eliminate singularity induced bifurcation. For deterministic system with double time delays, positivity and uniform persistence of solutions are studied, and some sufficient conditions associated with asymptotic stability of interior equilibrium are investigated. For stochastic system without double time delays, stochastic stability and existence of stochastic Hopf bifurcation are discussed based on singular boundary theory of diffusion process and invariant measure theory. For stochastic system with double time delays, existence and uniqueness of global positive solution are investigated, and asymptotic behaviors of the interior equilibrium are studied by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate theoretical analysis.
