Abstract

In this paper, spatial patterns of a diffusive predator–prey model with sigmoid (Holling type III) ratio-dependent functional response which concerns the influence of logistic population growth in prey and intra-species competition among predators are investigated. The (local and global) asymptotic stability behavior of the corresponding non-spatial model around the unique positive interior equilibrium point in homogeneous steady state is obtained. In addition, we derive the conditions for Turing instability and the consequent parametric Turing space in spatial domain. The results of spatial pattern analysis through numerical simulations are depicted and analyzed. Furthermore, we perform a series of numerical simulations and find that the proposed model dynamics exhibits complex pattern replication. The feasible results obtained in this paper indicate that the effect of diffusion in Turing instability plays an important role to understand better the pattern formation in ecosystem.
