Qualitative analysis on a diffusive predator-prey model with toxins

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the diffusive predator-prey model with toxins subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. The uniform persistence of positive solution is given under certain conditions. In addition, by the Liapunov-Schmidt method, the existence and stability of the bifurcation solution from a double eigenvalues are investigated. Moreover, by the fixed point index theory and perturbation theory of eigenvalues, the uniqueness, stability and multiplicity of coexistence states are analyzed when some key parameter changes. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to verify the theoretical conclusions and further to reflect the importance of parameters to the number of coexistence states.
