Reducing fake news and rumor propagation through social media may be challenging to achieve when dealing with sensible contents and communities with free access to online shared resources. Controlling rumor dissemination and promoting true news are the main techniques used to strangle false information that may result in dramatic effect on human wellbeing in an open or closed environment. In this article, we studied a predator-prey model with constant delay in both predator and prey equations and applied the proposed model to the underlying relationship between the existing rumor propagating through social media and the related authoritative information containing the truth broadcast to reduce the respective rumor negative effect on the targeted community. We showed that the proposed system was very responsive to small perturbations and exhibited complex dynamical behavior around the steady-state equilibrium when interaction occurs and delay is applied, considering the controlled situations. Numerical results suggested applying relatively small delay, which represents the ideal time to publish the related propagating rumor curative content to reduce its diffusion speed and promote the truth.

We invest a predator-prey model of Holling type-IV functional response with stage structure and double delays due to maturation time for both prey and predator. The dynamical behavior of the system is investigated from the point of view of stability switches aspects. We assume that the immature and mature individuals of each species are divided by a fixed age, and the mature predator only attacks the mature prey. Based on some comparison arguments, sharp threshold conditions which are both necessary and sufficient for the global stability of the equilibrium point of predator extinction are obtained. The most important outcome of this paper is that the variation of predator stage structure can affect the existence of the interior equilibrium point and drive the predator into extinction by changing the maturation (through-stage) time delay. Our linear stability work and numerical results show that if the resource is dynamic, as in nature, there is a window in maturation time delay parameters that generate sustainable oscillatory dynamics.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we consider a stochastic predator-prey model with general functional response, which is perturbed by nonlinear Lévy jumps. Firstly, We show that this model has a unique global positive solution with uniform boundedness of <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \theta\in(0,1] $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-th moment. Secondly, we obtain the threshold for extinction and exponential ergodicity of the one-dimensional Logistic system with nonlinear perturbations. Then based on the results of Logistic system, we introduce a new technique to study the ergodic stationary distribution for the stochastic predator-prey model with general functional response and nonlinear jump-diffusion, and derive the sufficient and almost necessary condition for extinction and ergodicity.</p>

A Holling I predator-prey model with mutual interference concerning pest control is proposed and analyzed. The prey and predator are considered to be a pest and a natural enemy, respectively. The model is forced by the addition of periodic impulsive terms representing predator import (biological control) and pesticide application (chemical control) at different fixed moments. By using Floquet theory and small amplitude perturbations, we show the existence and stability of pest-free periodic solutions. Further, we prove that when the stability of pest-free periodic solutions is lost, the system is permanent by using analytic methods of differential equation theory. Numerical solutions are also given, which show that when stability of pest-free periodic solutions is lost, more exotic behavior can occur, such as quasi-periodic oscillation or chaos. We investigate the effect of impulsive perturbations on the unforced continuous system, and find that the forced system has a different dynamical behavior with a different range of initial values which are inside or outside the unstable limit cycle of the unforced continuous system. Finally, we compare the validity of the combination of biological control and chemical control with classical methods and conclude that the synthetical strategy is more effective than classical methods if we take effective chemical control.

In this paper, we have proposed and analyzed an agricultural pest control system. For this purpose, an eco-epidemiological type predator–prey model has been proposed with the consideration of a sound predator population and two classes of pest populations namely susceptible pest and infected pest. Further to consider uncertainty, we modify our model and transform it into a fuzzy system with incorporation of imprecise parameters. The dynamical behavior of the proposed model has been investigated by examining the existence and stability criteria of all feasible equilibria. An optimal control problem is formed by considering the pesticide control as the control parameter and then the problem is solved both theoretically and numerically with the help of some computer simulation works.

In this paper, we propose a time-delayed predator-prey model with Holling-type II functional response, which incorporates the gestation period and the cost of fear into prey reproduction. The dynamical behavior of this system is both analytically and numerically investigated from the viewpoint of stability, permanence, and bifurcation. We found that there are stability switches, and Hopf bifurcations occur when the delay τ passes through a sequence of critical values. The explicit formulae which determine the direction, stability, and other properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. We perform extensive numerical simulations to explore the impact of some important parameters on the dynamics of the system. Numerical simulations show that high levels of fear have a stabilizing effect while relatively low levels of fear have a destabilizing effect on the predator-prey interactions which lead to limit-cycle oscillations. We also found that the model with or without a delay-dependent factor can have a significantly different dynamics. Thus, ignoring the delay or not including the delay-dependent factor might result in inaccurate modelling predictions.

A generalized predator-prey model concerning integrated pest management and nonlinear impulsive control measures is proposed and analyzed. The main purpose is to understand how resource limitation affects the successful pest control and pest outbreaks. The threshold conditions for the stability of the pest-free periodic solution are given firstly. Once the threshold value exceeds a critical level, both pest and its natural enemy populations can oscillate periodically. Secondly, in order to address how the limited resources affect the pest control, as an example the Holling II functional response function is chosen. The numerical results show that predator-prey model with limited resource has complex dynamical behavior. In addition, it is confirmed that the model has the coexistence of pests and natural enemies for a wide range of parameters.

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a diffusive predator–prey model with Holling-II functional response and the additive Allee effect in prey. We show the local and global asymptotical stability of the positive equilibrium, and give the conditions of the existence of the Hopf bifurcation. By carrying out global qualitative and bifurcation analysis, it is shown that the weak and strong Allee effects in prey can induce different dynamical behavior in the predator–prey model. Furthermore, we use some numerical simulations to illustrate the dynamics of the model. The results may be helpful for controlling and managing the predator–prey system.
