Hopf Bifurcation in a Diffusive Predator-Prey Model with Predation-Driven Allee Effect and Gestation Time Delay

Abstract

In this paper, a diffusive predator-prey system with predation-driven Allee effect and delay is considered. The effect of time delay on the model, including stability of the positive equilibrium and Hopf bifurcation is studied. To validate our theoretical analysis results, some numerical simulations are realized. The research results indicate that time delay can affect the stability of coexisting equilibrium points and cause periodic oscillations in predator and prey density.

1. Introduction

The direct predation relationship between prey and predators is one of the most important relationships in population dynamics in nature. Currently, many scholars have studied this relationship by establishing predator-prey models [1] [2]. Many scholars have also considered the impact of the Allee effect on predator-prey models [3] [4]. In [5] authors proposed a predator-prey model with predation-driven Allee effect with the following form.

{ du( t ) dt =ru( 1 u K )( 1 f+θv f+u ) muv a+u , dv( t ) dt =sv( 1 v β+γu ), (1)

where u( t ) and v( t ) respectively represent the populations of the prey and the predator. The significance of specific parameters can be referred to in reference [5]. They studied the local stability, Bogdanov-Tankens bifurcation, and Hopf bifurcation near the coexisting equilibrium point.

In nature, the spatial arrangement of populations is uneven, and diffusion phenomena often occur. Therefore, it is wise to introduce the reaction-diffusion to predator-prey model [6] [7]. In [8], Mi Y Y, Song C and Wang Z C investigated the steady-state patterns and dynamical behaviors of a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with diffusion, which incorporates density-dependent movement in the predators. They validated the existence of regular solutions with the uniform-in time bound and analyzed the global and local stability of the spatially homogeneous co-existence steady state under certain parameter conditions. In [9], Yang W S examined a diffusive predator-prey model with no-flux boundary condition and modified Holling-Tanner functional response. He confirmed persistence of the system by obtaining a sufficient condition. Moreover, he used a comparison method to confirm sufficient conditions for the global asymptotical stability of the system’s unique positive equilibrium.

In addition, time delay phenomenon is also widely present [11] [12]. In [10], Guo S J applied the S-1-equivariant degree method to a Hopf bifurcation problem for functional differential equations with a state-dependent delay. He used the homotopy invariance of S-1-equivariant degree, then the linearization of the system at a stationary state is extracted and translated into a bifurcation invariant. In [13], authors considered the fractional-order Leslie-Gower model with a single time delay and Holling type II functional response, they determined the stability range and bifurcation points by analytic extrapolation with regarding time delay as a bifurcation parameter. In [14], authors studied a predator-prey model with a Holling type II functional response and gestation delay. Focusing on the effect of predation-induced fear, they proved positivity boundedness and permanence under certain parametric conditions. We consider the following model with diffusion and the gestation time delay of predator.

{ u t = d 1 Δu+ru( 1 u K )( 1 f+θv f+u ) muv a+u , x( 0,lπ ), t>0, v t = d 2 Δv+sv( 1 v( tτ ) β+γu( tτ ) ), x( 0,lπ ), t>0, u x ( 0,t )= v x ( 0,t )=0, u x ( lπ,t )= v x ( lπ,t )=0, t>0, u( x,θ )= u 0 ( x,θ )0,v( x,θ )= v 0 ( x,θ )0, x[ 0,lπ ],θ[ τ,0 ], (2)

where d 1 and d 2 are self diffusion coefficients of prey and predators. τ is the gestation time delay, K is the carrying capacity of prey, the term 1 f+θv f+u describes the predator-driven Allee effect in prey. s is the conversion coeffcient.

The structure of this article is as follows. In Section 2, the stability of the positive equilibrium and time delay inducing Hopf bifurcation are analyzed. In Section 3, some numerical simulations are given.

2. Stability Analysis

The existence of equilibrium points has been discussed in [5], then we present the relevant results as follow. The model (2) has three boundary equilibrium ( 0,0 ) , ( K,0 ) and ( 0,β ) . If γθ>1 and a<K , then the model (2) obtain an unique positive equilibrium ( u * , v * ) , where u * is the positive root of the following equation and v * =β+γ u * .

σ 0 u 3 + σ 1 u 2 + σ 2 u+ σ 3 =0, σ 0 =r( 1γθ ), σ 1 =r( Ka )( 1γθ )+γKmβθr, σ 2 =βθr( Ka )aKr( 1γθ )+Km( β+γf ), σ 3 =βK( aθr+fm ). (3)

If γθ<1 , then the model (2) may have two positive equilibria.

Denote a positive equilibrium of (2) by E * ( u * , v * ) . Linearize system (2) at E * ( u * , v * ) has the following form

u t ( u( x,t ) u( x,t ) )= J 1 ( Δu( t ) Δv( t ) )+ J 2 ( u( x,t ) v( x,t ) )+ J 3 ( u( x,tτ ) v( x,tτ ) ), (4)

where

J 1 =( d 1 0 0 d 2 ), J 2 =( a 1 a 2 0 0 ), J 3 =( 0 0 sγ s ),

and

a 1 = u * ( m v * ( a+ u * ) 2 + r( 1 u * K )( f+θ v * ) ( f+ u * ) 2 + r( θ v * u * ) K( f+ u * ) ), a 2 = u * ( m a+ u * + θr( 1 u * /K ) f+ u * )<0. (5)

2.1. The Non-Delay Model

When the time delay τ=0 and diffusion d 1 = d 2 =0 . The characteristic equation are

λ 2 κ n λ+ ν n =0, n 0 , (6)

where

κ n = a 1 s, ν n =s( a 1 + a 2 γ ), μ n = n 2 l 2 .

The roots of (6) come from

λ 1,2 = 1 2 [ ( a 1 s )± ( a 1 s ) 2 +4s( a 1 + a 2 γ ) ]. (7)

It easy to know that the roots of (6) have negative real parts if and only if a 1 s<0 and

(H2) a 1 + a 2 γ<0,

hold. When s near a 1 , Equation (6) has a pair of complex eigenvalues α( s )±iω( s ) with

α( s )= 1 2 ( a 1 s ),ω( s )= 1 2 ( a 1 s ) 2 +4s( a 1 +γ a 2 ) ,

We have

α( a 1 )=0, α ( a 1 )= 1 2 ,ω( a 1 )>0.

Obviously, ODE system of (2) without delay undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at E * =( u * , v * ) when s= a 1 .

Theorem 1 When (H2) holds, for ODE system of (2) without delay the following statements are true.

i) If a 1 0 and s>0 , the equilibrium E * =( u * , v * ) is local asymptotically stable.

ii) If a 1 >0 and s> a 1 , the equilibrium E * =( u * , v * ) is local asymptotically stable.

iii) If a 1 >0 and s= a 1 , the ODE system of (2) without delay undergoes Hopf bifurcation at E * =( u * , v * ) .

When d 1 0, d 2 0 , we define the real-valued Sobolev space

X:={ ( u,v ) [ H 2 ( 0,lπ ) ] 2 : ( u x , v x )| x=0.lπ =0 },

and the complexification of X :

X :=XiX={ x 1 +i x 2 : x 1 , x 2 X }.

The linearized system of (2) without delay at ( 0,0 ) has the following form

( u t v t )=L( ρ )( u v ):=( d 1 0 0 d 2 )( Δu Δv )+( a 1 a 2 sγ s )( u v ).

Then the linearized operator of the steady state evaluated at ( s,0,0 ) is

L( s )=( d 1 2 x 2 + a 1 a 2 sγ d 2 2 x 2 s ),

with the domain D L( c ) = X .

By the [15], we konw that the eigenvalues of L( s ) are given by the eigenvalues of L n ( s ) for n=0,1,2, . where

L n ( s ):=( a 1 d 1 μ n a 2 sγ s d 2 μ n ).

The characteristic equation of L n ( s ) is

λ 2 λ T n ( s )+ D n ( s )=0, n=0,1,2,, (8)

with

{ T n ( s )= μ n ( d 1 + d 2 )+ a 1 s, D n ( s )= μ n d 1 d 2 μ n ( d 2 a 1 d 1 s )s( a 1 +γ a 2 ), (9)

the eigenvalues of Equation (8) are given by

λ 1,2 ( n ) ( s )= ± T n 2 ( s )4 D n ( s ) + T n ( s ) 2 , n=0,1,2,. (10)

It is obvious that when

(H3) s> a 1 ands d 2 a 1 d 1

holds, all the roots of (8) have negative real parts. We make a hypothesis

(H4) a 1 <s< d 2 a 1 d 1 ,

and denote

μ n ± = ( d 2 a 1 d 1 s )± ( d 2 a 1 d 1 s ) 2 +4s d 1 d 2 ( a 1 +γ a 2 ) 2 d 1 d 2 ,

s ± = d 2 d 1 [ ( a 1 +2γ a 2 )± γ a 2 ( γ a 2 +2 a 1 ) ].

Then the following statements are true.

Theorem 2. Suppose (H2) holds, for system (2) with τ=0 ,

i) If (H3) holds, then the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is asymptotically stable;

ii) If (H4) and s( s , s + ) hold, then the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is asymptotically stable;

iii) If (H4) hold, s( 0, s )( s + ,+ ) and μ n ( 0, μ n )( μ n + ,+ ) hold, then the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is asymptotically stable;

iv) If (H4) hold, s( 0, s )( s + ,+ ) and μ n ( μ n , μ n + ) hold, then the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is Turing unstable;

v) If a 1 >0 , when s= s n := a 1 μ n ( d 1 + d 2 ) , for 0n n * , the system (2) undergoes Hopf bifurcation at E * ( u * , v * ) .

Proof. From [15], (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) are easy to argue, we only prove (v).

We assume α n ( s )±i ω n ( s ) are eigenvalues of (6), then α n ( s )= κ n ( s ) 2 , ω n ( s )= ν n ( s ) α 2 ( s ) . By straightforward computation, we obtain α ( s n )= 1 2 <0 . If ±i ω n are eigenvalues of (6), then T n ( s n )=0 , we could obtain s= s n . Obviously, s n is monotonically decreasing with regard to n , then there is a n 1 * 0 , we have s n 0 for n= n 1 * +1, n 1 * +2, and s n >0 for n=0,1,2,, n 1 * .

Substitution s n into ν n ( c ) yields

ν n ( s n )= a 1 ( a 1 + a 2 γ )+ μ n ( 2 a 1 d 1 + a 2 γ( d 1 + d 2 ) ) d 1 2 μ n 2

By ν 0 ( s 0 )= a 1 ( a 1 + a 2 γ )>0 , there yields an integer n 2 * 1 then ν n ( s n )>0 when n=0,1,, n 2 * . Define n * =min{ n 1 * , n 2 * } , such that the last statement holds.

2.2. The delay model

When the time delay τ0 . The characteristic equation is

Δ n ( λ,τ )= λ 2 +λ X n + Y n +s( λ+ Z n ) e λτ =0 (11)

where

X n =( d 1 + d 2 ) μ n a 1 , Y n = d 2 μ n ( d 1 μ n a 1 ), Z n = d 1 μ n ( a 1 + a 2 γ ).

In this section, we assume a 1 + a 2 γ<0 and s>max{ d 2 d 1 a 1 , a 1 } hold. When τ=0 , we can easily get Δ n ( 0,τ )= Y n + Z n = ν n >0 , then 0 is not a characteristic root of (11). Then we have the following lemma.

Lemma 3. Suppose a 1 + a 2 γ<0 and s>max{ d 2 d 1 a 1 , a 1 } hold, then Eq. (11) has a couple of purely imaginary roots ±i ω n + ( 0n N 1 ) at τ n +,j , where τ n j = τ n +,0 + 2jπ ω n , j 0 , τ n 0 = 1 ω n arccos ω n 2 ( Z n X n ) Y n Z n s( ω n 2 + Z n 2 ) , ω n = 1 2 [ ( X n 2 2 Y n s 2 )+ ( X n 2 2 Y n s 2 ) 2 4( Y n 2 s 2 Z n 2 ) ] .

Proof. iω ( ω>0 ) is a root of Eq. (11) if and only if ω satisfies

ω 2 +iω X n + Y n +s( iω+ Z n )( cosωτisinωτ )=0.

Then we have

{ ω 2 + Y n +s Z n cosωτ+sωsinωτ=0, ω X n s Z n sinωτ+sωcosωτ=0

which lead to

ω 4 + ω 2 ( X n 2 2 Y n s 2 )+ Y n 2 Z n 2 s 2 =0 (12)

and the roots of (12) are

ω ± 2 = 1 2 [ ( X n 2 2 Y n s 2 )± ( X n 2 2 Y n s 2 ) 2 4( Y n 2 s 2 Z n 2 ) ].

Obviously, Y n +s Z n >0 and Y n s Z n = d 1 d 2 μ n 2 ( a 1 d 2 +s d 1 ) μ n +s( a 1 + a 2 γ ) . Obviously, there is a n 1 0 such Y n s Z n <0 for 0n N 1 . Then ω 2 <0 and ω + 2 >0 for 0n N 1 . Based on the above discussion, the lemma holds.

Denote τ * 0 = min 0i N 1 { τ i 0 } . Based on the above analysis, we have the following theorem.

Theorem 4. Suppose a 1 + a 2 γ<0 and s>max{ d 2 d 1 a 1 , a 1 } hold, for system (2), the following statements are true.

i) If τ[ 0, τ * 0 ) , then E * ( u * , v * ) is local asymptotically stable;

ii) If τ> τ * 0 , then equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is unstable;

iii) τ= τ 0 j ( j 0 ) are Hopf bifurcation values of system (2).

Proof. Denote λ n ( τ )= α n ( τ )+i ω n ( τ ) is the root of (11), which satisfy α n ( τ n j )=0 and ω n ( τ n j )= ω n when τ is near τ n j . Then we can obtain the following transversality condition. Differentiating two sides of (11) with respect τ , we have

( dλ dτ ) 1 = 2λ+ X n +s e λτ λs( λ+ Z n ) e λτ τ λ .

Then

[ Re ( dλ dτ ) 1 ] τ= τ n j 1 = [ 2λ+ X n +s e λτ λs( λ+ Z n ) e λτ τ λ ] τ= τ n j = [ s+ X n cosωτ2ωsinωτ+i( 2ωcosωτ )+ X n sinωτ s ω 2 +i Z n sω τ iω ] τ= τ n j = 1 Λ ω 2 ( 2 ω 2 2 Y n + X n 2 s 2 ) = 1 Λ ω 2 ( X n 2 2 Y n s 2 ) 2 4( Y n 2 s 2 Z n 2 ) >0,

where Λ= ω 4 c 2 + Z n 2 c 2 ω 2 >0 . Therefore the transversal condition hold. The content of the theorem is obviously valid.

3. Direction and Stability of Hopf bifurcation

In this section, we use center manifold theorem and normal form theorem of partial functional differential equations to analyze the stability of the bifurcating periodic solution and direction of Hopf bifurcation. Denote τ ˜ =τμ , v 1 ( t )=u( ,t ) , v 2 ( t )=v( ,t ) and V= ( v 1 , v 2 ) T . Thus, in the phase space 1 :=C( [ 1,0 ],X ) , (2) can be transformed into an abstract form

dV( t ) dt = τ ˜ dΔV( t )+ L τ ˜ ( V t )+F( V t ,μ ), (13)

with L μ ( φ )=μ( a 1 φ 1 ( 0 )+ a 2 φ 2 ( 0 ) sγ φ 1 ( 1 )s φ 2 ( 1 ) ) , and F( φ,μ )=μdΔφ+ L μ ( φ )+h( φ,μ ) , where h( φ,μ )=( τ ˜ +μ ) ( F 1 ( φ,μ ), F 2 ( φ,μ ) ) T , with φ= ( φ 1 , φ 2 ) T τ , and

F 1 ( φ,u )=r( φ 1 ( 0 )+ u 0 )( 1 φ 1 ( 0 )+ u 0 K )( 1 f+θ( φ 2 ( 0 )+ v 0 ) f+( φ 1 ( 0 )+ u 0 ) ) m( φ 1 ( 0 )+ u 0 )( φ 2 ( 0 )+ v 0 ) a+( φ 1 ( 0 )+ u 0 ) a 1 φ 1 ( 0 ) a 2 φ 2 ( 0 ), (14)

F 2 ( φ,v )=s( φ 2 ( 0 )+ v 0 )( 1 φ 2 ( 1 )+ v 0 β+γ( φ 1 ( 1 )+ u 0 ) )sγ φ 1 ( 1 )+s φ 2 ( 1 ). (15)

Next, we study the linear equation of (13).

From the subsection 2.2, Λ n :={ i ω n τ ˜ ,i ω n τ ˜ } are characteristic eigenvalues of equation

dz( t ) dt = τ ˜ d n 2 l 2 z( t )+ L τ ˜ ( z t ). (16)

From Riesz representation, we can get a 2×2 matrix function η n ( ε, τ ˜ ) , 1ε0 , such that τ ˜ d n 2 l 2 φ( 0 )+ L τ ˜ ( φ )= 1 0 d η n ( ε,τ )φ( ε ) , for φC( [ 1,0 ], 2 ) .

We can choose

η n ( ε,τ )={ τ( a 1 d 1 n 2 l 2 a 2 0 0 ) ε=0, 0 ε( 1,0 ), τ( 0 0 sγ s d 2 n 2 l 2 ) ε=1, (17)

Let B( τ ˜ ) be the infinitesimal generators of semigroup included by the solutions of equation (16) and B * be the formal adjoint of B( τ ˜ ) under the bilinear paring

( ϕ,φ ) n =ϕ( 0 )φ( 0 ) 1 0 ξ=0 ε ϕ( ξε )d η n ( ε, τ ˜ )φ( ξ )dξ =ϕ( 0 )φ( 0 )+ τ ˜ 1 0 ϕ( ξ+1 )Fφ( ξ )dξ (18)

for φC( [ 1,0 ], 2 ),ϕC( [ 0,1 ], 2 ) . B( τ ˜ ) has a pair of purely imaginary eigenvalues ±i ω n τ ˜ , Let P and p * be the characteristic subspaces of Λ n respectively, and they are also characteristic subspaces of B( τ ˜ ) and B * . Therefore, p * is the adjoint matrix of P , we have dimP=dim P * =2 . Obviously, p 1 ( ε )= ( 1,ξ ) T e i ω n τ ˜ ε ( ε[ 1,0 ] ) and p 2 ( ε )= p 1 ( ε ) ¯ are bases of B( τ ˜ ) corresponding to Λ n , q 1 ( θ )=( 1,η ) e i ω n τ ˜ θ ( θ[ 0,1 ] ) and q 2 ( θ )= q 1 ( θ ) ¯ are bases of B * corresponding to Λ n , where

ξ= a 1 + d 1 μ n +iω a 2 ,η= a 2 s+ d 2 μ n +iω .

Let Φ= ( Φ 1 , Φ 2 ) T and Ψ ˙ = ( Ψ ˙ 1 , Ψ ˙ 2 ) T , for ε[ 1,0 ] , we have

Φ 1 ( ε )= p 1 ( ε )+ p 2 ( ε ) 2 =( Re( e i ω n τ ˜ ε ) Re( ξ e i ω n τ ˜ ε ) ) =( cos ω n τ ˜ ε ( d 1 μ n a 1 a 2 )cosετ ω n ω n 2 sinετ ω n a 2 ),

Φ 2 ( ε )= p 1 ( ε ) p 2 ( ε ) 2i =( Im( e i ω n τ ˜ ε ) Im( ξ e i ω n τ ˜ ε ) ) =( sin ω n τ ˜ ε ω n a 2 cosετ ω n + ( a 1 d 1 μ n ) ω n a 2 sinετ ω n ).

For θ[ 1,0 ] , we have

Ψ ˙ 1 ( θ )= q 1 ( θ )+ q 2 ( θ ) 2 =( Re( e i ω n τ ˜ θ ) Re( η e i ω n τ ˜ θ ) ) =( cosθτ ω n a 2 ( s+ d 2 μ n ) ( s+ d 2 μ n ) 2 + ω n 2 cosθτ ω n a 2 ω n 2 ( s+ d 2 μ n ) 2 + ω n 2 sinθτ ω n ).

Ψ ˙ 2 ( θ )= q 1 ( θ ) q 2 ( θ ) 2i =( Im( e i ω n τ ˜ θ ) Im( η e i ω n τ ˜ θ ) ) =( sinθτ ω n a 2 ω n ( s+ d 2 μ n ) 2 + ω n 2 cosθτ ω n + a 2 ω n ( s+ d 2 μ n ) ( s+ d 2 μ n ) 2 + ω n 2 sinθτ ω n ).

Then we can obtain the following equation by (18)

D 1 :=( Ψ ˙ 1 , Φ 1 ), D 2 :=( Ψ ˙ 1 , Φ 2 ), D 3 :=( Ψ ˙ 2 , Φ 1 ), D 4 :=( Ψ ˙ 2 , Φ 2 ).

Define ( Ψ ˙ ,Φ )=( Ψ ˙ j , Φ k )=( D 1 D 2 D 3 D 4 ) and construct a new basis Ψ for P * by Ψ= ( Ψ 1 , Ψ 2 ) T = ( Ψ ˙ ,Φ ) 1 Ψ ˙ . Then ( Ψ,Φ )= I 2 , Besides, define l n :=( γ n 1 , γ n 2 ) , with

γ n 1 =( cos n l x 0 ), γ n 2 =( 0 cos n l x )

and γ l n = γ 1 γ n 1 + γ 2 γ n 2 , for γ= ( γ 1 , γ 2 ) T 1 . Hence, we have u,v := 1 lπ 0 lπ u 1 v 1 ¯ dx+ 1 lπ 0 lπ u 2 v 2 ¯ dx for u=( u 1 , u 2 ) , v=( v 1 , v 2 ) , u,vX and φ, f 0 = ( φ, f 0 1 , φ, f 0 2 ) T . From [15], we have

dV( t ) dt = B τ ˜ V t +R( V t ,μ ) (19)

where

R( V t ,μ )={ 0 ε[ 1,0 ) F( V t ,μ ) ε=0

The solution of (19) can be expressed as

V t =Φ( y ˙ 1 y ˙ 2 ) l n +h( y ˙ 1 , y ˙ 2 ,μ ) (20)

with

( y ˙ 1 , y ˙ 2 ) T =( Ψ, V t , l n ),h( y ˙ 1 , y ˙ 2 ,μ ) P S 1 ,h( 0,0,0 )=0,Dh( 0,0,0 )=0.

From center manifold theorem, the solution of (13) can be expressed as

V t =Φ ( y ˙ 1 ( t ) y ˙ 2 ( t ) ) T l n +h( y ˙ 1 , y ˙ 2 ,0 ). (21)

Denote c * = y ˙ 1 i y ˙ 2 , and notice that p 1 = Φ 1 +i Φ 2 . Then we have

Φ( y ˙ 1 ( t ) y ˙ 2 ( t ) ) l n =( Φ 1 , Φ 2 )( c * + c ¯ * 2 i( c * c ¯ * ) 2 ) l n = 1 2 ( p 1 c * + p ¯ 1 c ¯ * ) l n ,

h( y ˙ 1 , y ˙ 2 ,0 )=h( c * + c ¯ * 2 , ( c * c ¯ * )i 2 ,0 ).

Thus, Equation (21) become

V t = 1 2 ( p 1 c * + p ¯ 1 c ¯ * ) l n +h( c * + c ¯ * 2 , ( c * c ¯ * )i 2 ,0 ) = 1 2 ( p 1 c * + p ¯ 1 c ¯ * ) l n +W( c * , c ¯ * ) (22)

where

W( c * , c ¯ * )=h( c * + c ¯ * 2 , ( c * c ¯ * )i 2 ,0 )

From [16], we can know

c ˙ * =i ω n τ ˜ c * +g( c * , c ¯ * ), (23)

with

g( c * , c ¯ * )=( Ψ 1 ( 0 )i Ψ 2 ( 0 ) ) F( V t ,0 ), l n . (24)

Denote

W( c * , c ¯ * )= W 20 c * 2 2 + W 11 c * c ¯ * + W 02 c ¯ * 2 2 +, (25)

g( c * , c ¯ * )= g 20 c * 2 2 + g 11 c * c ¯ * + g 02 c ¯ * 2 2 + g 21 c * 2 c ¯ * 2 +. (26)

From (23) and (26), we have

u t ( 0 )= 1 2 ( c * + c ¯ * )cos( nx l )+ W 20 1 ( 0 ) c * 2 2 + W 11 1 ( 0 ) c * c ¯ * + W 02 1 ( 0 ) c ¯ * 2 2 +

v t ( 0 )= 1 2 ( ξ c * + ξ ¯ c ¯ * )cos( nx l )+ W 20 2 ( 0 ) c * 2 2 + W 11 2 ( 0 ) c * c ¯ * + W 02 2 ( 0 ) c ¯ * 2 2 +

u t ( 1 )= 1 2 ( c e i ω n τ + c ¯ * e i ω n τ )cos( nx l )+ W 20 1 ( 1 ) c * 2 2 + W 11 1 ( 1 ) c * c ¯ * + W 02 1 ( 1 ) c ¯ * 2 2 + (27)

and

F ¯ 1 ( V t ,0 )= 1 τ ˜ F 1 = 1 2 f uu u t 2 ( 0 )+ f uv u t ( 0 ) v t ( 0 )+ 1 6 f uuu u t 3 ( 0 )+

F ¯ 2 ( V t ,0 )= 1 τ ˜ F 2 = g uv u t ( 1 ) v t ( 0 )+ 1 2 g vv v t 2 ( 0 )+

with

Therefore,

F( V t ,0 ), l n = τ ˜ ( F ¯ 1 ( V t ,0 ) l n 1 + F ¯ 2 ( V t ,0 ) l n 2 ) = c * 2 2 τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) )Γ + c * c ¯ * τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +( ξ ¯ +ξ ) f uv ) 1 4 ( g uu +( e iτ ω n ξ ¯ + e iτ ω n ξ ) g uv + ξ ¯ ξ g vv ) )Γ + c ¯ * 2 2 τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +2 ξ ¯ f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu + ξ ¯ ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv + ξ ¯ g vv ) ) )Γ + c * 2 c ¯ * 2 τ ˜ ( ϑ 1 ϑ 2 )+ (30)

where

Γ= 1 lπ 0 lπ cos 3 ( nx l )dx.

ϑ 1 = 1 2 ( ( 2 W 11 1 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x + W 20 1 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ) f uu +( 2 W 11 2 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x + W 20 2 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x + W 20 1 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ξ ¯ + 2 W 11 1 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ξ ) f uv ),

ϑ 2 = 1 2 e iτ ω n ( ( 2 W 11 1 ( 1 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x + e 2iτ ω n W 20 1 ( 1 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ) g uu +( 2 W 11 2 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x + e iτ ω n ( e iτ ω n W 20 2 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x + W 20 1 ( 1 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ξ ¯ + 2 W 11 1 ( 1 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ξ ) ) g uv + e iτ ω n ( W 20 2 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ξ ¯ + 2 W 11 2 ( 0 )cos μ n x,cos μ n x ξ ) g vv ).

Denote Ψ 1 ( 0 )i Ψ 2 ( 0 ):=( ε 1 ε 2 ) , observe that

1 lπ 0 lπ cos 3 μ n xdx=0,n=1,2,3, .

Thus, we have

Hence, from (24) (26) (31), we can get g 20 = g 11 = g 02 =0 , for n . When n=0 , yields

g 20 = ε 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv )+ ε 2 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ),

g 11 = ε 1 4 ( f uu +( ξ+ ξ ¯ ) f uv )+ ε 2 4 ( g uu +( e iτ ω n ξ ¯ + e iτ ω n ξ ) g uv + ξ ¯ ξ g vv ),

g 02 = ε 1 4 ( f uu +2 ξ ¯ f uv )+ ε 2 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu + ξ ¯ ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv + ξ ¯ g vv ) ).

And g 21 = τ ˜ ( ε 1 ϑ 1 + ε 2 ϑ 2 ) , for n 0 . For the next part, we compute W 20 ( ε ) and W 11 ( ε ) to get g 21 . We have

W ˙ ( c * , c ¯ * )= W 20 c * c ˙ * + W 11 c ˙ * c ¯ * + W 11 c * c ¯ ˙ * + W 02 c ¯ * c ¯ ˙ * +, B τ ˜ W( c * , c ¯ * )= B τ ˜ W 20 c * 2 2 + B τ ˜ W 11 c * c ¯ * + B τ ˜ W 02 c ¯ * 2 2 +,

and W ˙ ( c * , c ¯ * ) satisfies W ˙ ( c * , c ¯ * )= B τ ˜ W+H( c * , c ¯ * ) , with

We have

( 2i ω n τ ˜ B τ ˜ ) W 20 = H 20 , B τ ˜ W 11 = H 11 ,( 2i ω n τ ˜ B τ ˜ ) W 02 = H 02 , (33)

From (31), we can get

Hence, by (32), we have

H 20 ( ε )={ 0 n 1 2 ( p 1 ( ε ) g 20 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 02 ) l 0 n=0,

H 11 ( ε )={ 0 n 1 2 ( p 1 ( ε ) g 11 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 11 ) l 0 n=0,

H 02 ( ε )={ 0 n 1 2 ( p 1 ( ε ) g 02 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 20 ) l 0 n=0,

and

H( c * , c ¯ * )( 0 )=F( V t ,0 )Φ( Ψ, F( V t ,0 ), l n ) l n ,

with

H 20 ( 0 )={ τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) ) cos 2 μ n x, n τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) ) 1 2 ( p 1 ( ε ) g 20 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 02 ) l 0 , n=0,

H 11 ( 0 )={ τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +( ξ ¯ +ξ ) f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) ) cos 2 μ n x, n τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +( ξ ¯ +ξ ) f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) ) 1 2 ( p 1 ( ε ) g 11 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 11 ) l 0 . n=0,

By the definition of B τ ˜ and (33), we have

W ˙ 20 = B τ ˜ W 20 =2i ω n τ ˜ W 20 + 1 2 ( p 1 ( ε ) g 20 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 02 ) l n ,1θ<0.

Thus, W 20 ( ε )= i 2i ω n τ ˜ ( g 20 p 1 ( ε )+ g ¯ 02 3 p 2 ( ε ) ) l n + G 1 e 2i ω n τ ˜ ε ,

where

G 1 ={ W 20 ( 0 ) n, W 20 ( 0 ) i 2i ω n τ ˜ ( g 20 p 1 ( 0 )+ g ¯ 02 3 p 2 ( 0 ) ) l 0 n=0.

By the definition of A τ ˜ and (33), we have

( g 20 p 1 ( 0 )+ g ¯ 02 3 p 2 ( 0 ) ) l 0 +2i ω n τ ˜ G 1 A τ ˜ ( i 2 ω n τ ˜ ( g 20 p 1 ( 0 )+ g ¯ 02 3 p 2 ( 0 ) ) l 0 ) A τ ˜ G 1 L τ ˜ ( i 2 ω n τ ˜ ( g 20 p 1 ( 0 )+ g ¯ 02 3 p 2 ( 0 ) ) l n + G 1 e 2i ω n τ ˜ θ ) = τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) ) 1 2 ( p 1 ( 0 ) g 20 + p 2 ( 0 ) g ¯ 02 ) l 0 .

As

B τ ˜ p 1 ( 0 ) l 0 + L τ ˜ ( p 1 l 0 )=i ω 0 p 1 ( 0 ) l 0 ,

B τ ˜ p 2 ( 0 ) l 0 + L τ ˜ ( p 2 l 0 )=i ω 0 p 2 ( 0 ) l 0 .

We get for n=0,1,2, ,

2i ω n G 1 A τ ˜ G 1 L τ ˜ E 1 e 2i ω n = τ ˜ ( 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv ) 1 4 ( e 2iτ ω n g uu +ξ( 2 e iτ ω n g uv +ξ g vv ) ) ) cos 2 ( nx l )

That is

G 1 = τ ˜ G( 1 4 ( f uu +2ξ f uv ) 1 4 ξ ¯ e i τ ˜ ω n ( 2 g uv +ξ e i τ ˜ ω n g vv ) ) cos 2 ( nx l )

with

G= ( 2i ω n τ ˜ + d 1 n 2 l 2 a 1 a 2 sγ e 2i ω n τ ˜ 2i ω n τ ˜ + d 2 n 2 l 2 +s ) 1 .

Similarly, from (33), we have

W 11 = i 2 ω n τ ˜ ( p 1 ( ε ) g 11 + p 2 ( ε ) g ¯ 11 ) l n ,1ε<0.

G 2 = τ ˜ G * ( 1 4 ( f uu +( ξ ¯ +ξ ) f uv ) 1 4 e i τ ˜ ω n ( ( ξ ¯ +ξ e 2i τ ˜ ω n ) g uv +ξ ξ ¯ e i τ ˜ ω n g vv ) ) cos 2 ( nx l ),

with

G * = ( d 1 n 2 l 2 a 1 a 2 sγ d 2 n 2 l 2 +s ) 1

Therefore, we can calculate the relevant quantities that govern the stability and direction of the branching periodic orbits.

μ 1 ( 0 )= i 2 ω n τ ˜ ( g 20 g 11 2 | g 11 | 2 | g 02 | 2 3 )+ 1 2 g 21 , μ 2 = Re( μ 1 ( 0 ) ) Re( λ ( τ n j ) ) , T 2 = 1 ω n τ ˜ ( Im( μ 1 ( 0 ) )+ μ 2 Im( λ ( τ n j ) ) ), β 2 =2Re( μ 1 ( 0 ) ).

Then we have the following theorem.

Theorem 5. For any critical value τ n j , we have:

i) if μ 2 <0 (respectively > 0), then the Hopf bifurcation is backward (respectively forward), in other words, the bifurcating periodic solutions exists for τ> τ n j (respectively τ< τ n j ).

ii) if β 2 <0 (respectively > 0), then the bifurcating periodic solutions are orbitally asymptotically stable (respectively unstable).

iii) if T 2 <0 (respectively > 0), then the period decreases (respectively increases).

4. Numerical Simulations

Choose the parameters

r=0.5, K=10, f=0.2, m=0.5, a=0.8, β=0.5, γ=0.5, θ=0.2, s=0.3, d 1 =0.1, d 2 =0.2, l=1. (34)

The model has positive equilibria ( u * , v * )( 3.6932,2.3466 ) and ( u 1 , v 1 )( 0.7678,0.8839 ) , and ( u 1 , v 1 ) is always unstable. Therefore, we mainly study the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) . By direct calculation, it can be obtained a 1 0.1132 , a 2 0.4708 , a 1 + a 2 γ0.1223 . Obviously, hypothesis (H3) holds, then from the (2) we know that the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is local asymptotically stable when τ=0 (shown in Figure 1). In addition, we obtain τ * 0 2.4722 , then then from the (4) we know that the equilibrium E * ( u * , v * ) is local asymptotically stable when τ< τ * 0 (shown in Figure 2), and the bifurcating periodic solution exists when τ> τ * 0 (shown in Figure 3). Moreover, we have μ 2 =6.0319 , β 2 =1.1299 , T 2 =0.6212 , then from theorem (5) we can know that the Hopf bifurcation is forward, the bifurcating periodic solutions are orbitally asymptotically stable and the period of bifurcating periodic solutions increase. Besides, we change s to 0.6 and τ=2 , (shown in Figure 4), by comparing with Figure 2, we find parameter s is also an important parameter which affect the stability of Hopf bifurcation. By above results, we can know that the gestation delay can affect the stability of population, this kind of influence is not monotonous and manifest as periodic oscillations.

5. Conclusion

In this paper, we devote to exploring a diffusive predator-prey model with Allee effect and gestation time delay. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, the linear stability of the positive equilibrium is investigated. We also investigate the phenomenon Turing instability and Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, we conducted some calculations to determine the stability and direction of Hopf bifurcation. The addition of gestation time delay enables us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of biological processes such as reproductive strategies, population dynamics, environmental adaptability, and biodiversity maintenance in organisms. By considering this time delay, the model can more accurately predict and explain complex phenomena in actual biological systems. The numerical simulations reveal that time delay leads to the instability of population numbers that were originally stable. The population size of predators and prey is evenly distributed in time and space when there is no time delay (Figure 1). Further more, we found that there is a critical value for the impact of time delay on population size. When τ is weaker than this value (Figure 2), the population size is stable over time. Conversely, when τ is stronger than this value (Figure 3), the population size is unstable over time. In summary, the slower predators are born, the more unstable their populations become, which may be influenced by the predator-driven Allee effect. Besides, time delay can lead to non monotonic changes in population size, manifested as periodic oscillations, Periodic oscillations may lead to the disruption of ecological balance. Adding a model with gestation delay can reveal the complexity and potential oscillatory behavior in population dynamics. The emergence of Hopf branches suggests that populations may transition from stable equilibrium states to unstable periodic oscillations, which is of great significance for understanding the stability of ecosystems, survival strategies of species, and the sustainability of ecological services. For example, in the reproductive strategies of some insects, the time interval between larval and adult development can serve as a biological indicator of time delay. By studying these models, scholars can better predict and manage population fluctuations in ecosystems.
