“…In this study, we have considered x, y as the prey and predator species respectively and δxy as the amount of nonlinear prey refuge (cf. [17,[19][20][21]) admissible for t 0 with 0 x(1 − δy) x. The factor y y+h comes into predator growth function to decrease the predator growth rate because, if a predator eats more, it will be less likely to die from starvation or from the consequences of weakness due to hunger; and it is positive for any value of functional response, because a predator is highly unlikely to live forever.…”
