“…Although the periodic solution of a predator-prey model ( [2,3,33,32,37,13,15,18,40,23,24,16]) was extensively studied, to the best of our knowledge, the general delayed predator-prey model with discontinuous prey harvesting control has not yet been considered. Due to the characteristic of discontinuous harvesting control strategy, the existing results obtained for the optimal continuous harvesting policy, threshold policy and weighted escapement policy cannot be directly applied to the general delayed predator-prey model with discontinuous harvesting control strategy.…”
