Abstract
Abstract In community ecology, the stability of a predator–prey system is a considerably desired issue; as a result, population control of a predator–prey system is very important. The dynamics of continuous-time models with Z-type control is studied earlier. But, the effectiveness of the Z-type control mechanism in a discrete-time set-up is lacking. First, we consider a Lotka–Volterra type discrete-time predator–prey model. We observe that without control, the system exhibits rich dynamical behaviors including chaotic oscillations. We apply the Z-control mechanism in both direct and indirect ways to the system and observe that in both cases, controllers have the property to drive the populations of the system to the desired state. We conduct numerical simulation as supporting evidence of our analytical results.
