Abstract
An epidemic model for pest management with impulsive control over a patchy environment is proposed in this paper. We investigate the dynamical behaviors on extinction and permanence and obtain the threshold value [Formula: see text] of dynamics for the impulsive system by utilizing a small amplitude perturbation method, matrix spectral analysis and persistence theory. We prove that the periodic pest-eradication solution of the system is globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text], while the system is persistent if [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, by discussion on the two-patch case, we analyze the effects of the dispersal and impulsive control on dynamical behaviors of the system. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results and to demonstrate the complexity such as chaotic characteristic of the system.
