Abstract

In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a discrete predator-prey model which is a result of discretization of the corresponding continuous Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model. Among the topis are equilibria and their stability, existence and stability of a period-2 orbit, as well the chaotic behavior of F. The chaos here is in the sense of topological horseshoe and is obtained for certain range of parameter values by applying a recent result from [5]. Our results are in contrast to the recent ones in [6] which claimed that if the predator-prey interaction is replaced by cooperative or competitive interaction, the discretization preserves the property of convergence to the equilibrium, regardless of the step size.
