Abstract

We consider a two predator and one prey model with Holling type II functional response incorporating a constant prey refuge. Depending upon the constant prey refuge m, which provides a criterion for protecting m of prey from predation, sufficient conditions for stability and global stability of equilibria are obtained. We find the critical value of this refuge parameter m for which the dynamical system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation and then makes use of center manifold theorem and normal form methods to find the direction of the Hopf bifurcation as well as the stability of the resulting limit cycle. The influence of the prey refuge parameter is also investigated at the interior equilibrium. Numerical simulations were carried out to illustrate and support the analytical results.
