Complex population dynamics and economic repercussions: predator - prey interactions, infectious disease transmission and solar magnetic activity
Abstract
This thesis contributes to the understanding of the complex population dynamics. In the first part of this thesis deterministic models describing predator-prey interactions and the spread of an infectious disease are investigated under new assumptions; the economic impacts of the outbreaks and infectious disease epidemics corresponding to the prey populations studied in this part are examined as well. We start with a predator-prey model with Holling type I functional response by incorporating prey refuge in the system; it is shown that refuge in some cases exhibits random-like dynamics leading to prey population outbreaks. Following, a dynamical system suitable for species having no overlap between successive generations is investigated; assuming that population evolves in discrete-time steps we investigate the prey refuge effect on predator-prey interactions. We show that reproduction in certain intervals is important and should be taken into account since it could help in the identif ...
