Stochastic bifurcations and tipping phenomena of insect outbreak systems driven by α-stable Lévy processes

Abstract

In this work, we mainly characterize stochastic bifurcations and tipping phenomena of insect outbreak dynamical systems driven by $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes. In one-dimensional insect outbreak model, we find the fixed points representing refuge and outbreak from the bifurcation curves, and carry out a sensitivity analysis with respect to small changes in the model parameters, the stability index and the noise intensity. We perform the numerical simulations of dynamical trajectories using Monte Carlo methods, which contribute to looking at stochastic hysteresis phenomenon. As for two-dimensional insect outbreak system, we identify the global stability properties of fixed points and express the probability density function by the stationary solution of the nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation. Through numerical modelling, the phase portrait makes it possible to detect critical transitions among the stable states. It is then worth describing stochastic bifurcation associated with tipping points induced by noise through a careful examination of the dynamical paths of the insect outbreak system with external forcing. The results give new insight into the sensitivity of ecosystems to realistic environmental changes represented by stochastic perturbations.

Slow Manifolds for Stochastic Koper Models with Stable Lévy Noises

“…We are able to rewrite Equation (10) with the initial condition p(x, y, z, 0) = δ(x − x 0 , y − y 0 , z − z 0 ).…”

“…Invariant manifolds are useful in investigating the dynamical behavior of the multiscale systems [3,4]. Invariant manifolds for investigating the dynamical behavior of deterministic systems without being influenced by stochastic forces are discussed in [5][6][7], while invariant manifolds for deterministic systems influenced by stochastic forces are constructed in [8][9][10]. An invariant manifold for a fast-slow stochastic system in which fast mode is indicated by the slow mode tends to slow the manifold when the scale parameter goes to zero.…”

Computing large deviation prefactors of stochastic dynamical systems based on machine learning

“…The phenomena of rare events exiting from the domain of attraction of a stable state induced by noise have been attracting increasing attention in recent years, ranging from physics, [1][2][3] chemistry [4] and biology [5,6] to engineering. [7,8] Even for weak noise, rare events will almost certainly occur if the observations are performed on a sufficiently long time scale.…”

Most Probable Dynamics of the Single-Species with Allee Effect under Jump-Diffusion Noise

“…The population may be affected by sudden environmental noises [34,53]. For example, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the smoking habit [59], and the recent Coronavirus [44], earthquakes [52], temperature [55], and hurricanes [51].…”
