A dynamical predator-prey model with constant prey harvesting, proportional harvesting in predator has been studied. The square root func- tional response also has been incorporated in the system to describe the prey herd behaviour, assuming the average handling time is zero. The existence and the local stability of equilibria of the system have been discussed. It is examined that, two types of bifurcation occur in the system. The two types of bifurcations have been analyzed, and it has been found by analyzing the saddle-node bifurcation that, there is a maximum sustainable yield. It is ob- served that if harvesting rate is greater than the maximum sustainable yield, the prey population abolish from the system and then extinction of the preda- tor population happen. But if harvesting rate is lesser than the maximum sustainable yield, the extinction of the prey population can not be possible. By analyzing the Hopf bifurcation, it is obtained that, there exists an unstable limit cycle around the interior equilibrium point. Several numerical simulations are performed to check the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
