Poincaré Map Approach to Global Dynamics of the Integrated Pest Management Prey-Predator Model

An integrated pest management prey-predator model with ratio-dependent and impulsive feedback control is investigated in this paper. Firstly, we determine the Poincaré map which is defined on the phase set and discuss its main properties including monotonicity, continuity, and discontinuity. Secondly, the existence and stability of the boundary order-one periodic solution are proved by the method of Poincaré map. According to the Poincaré map and related differential equation theory, the conditions of the existence and global stability of the order-one periodic solution are obtained when ΦyA<yA, and we prove the sufficient and necessary conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the order-one periodic solution when ΦyA>yA. Furthermore, we prove the existence of the order-kk≥2 periodic solution under certain conditions. Finally, we verify the main results by numerical simulation.

Analysis and control of a non-smooth population model with impulsive effects

In this paper, a non-smooth population model with impulsive effects is proposed by combining discontinuity and non-smoothness. According to the qualitative theory of differential equations, the global analysis of the model is discussed. Using the theory of impulsive differential equations, the existence conditions of order one periodic solution are obtained. And the impulsive controllers are designed to make the pest populations stay at the refuge level. Some simulations are carried out to prove the results.

A pest control model with state-dependent impulses

In this paper, a pest control model with state-dependent impulses is firstly established, which relies on releasing of natural enemies, together with spraying pesticides. By using the successor function of differential equation geometry rules, the existence of order one periodic solution is discussed. According to the Analogue of Poincaré's Criterion, the orbitally asymptotic stability of the order one periodic solution is obtained. Furthermore, we investigated the global attractor of the system. From a biological point of view, our results indicate that: (1) the pest population can be controlled below some threshold; (2) compared to single measure, it is more efficient to take two measures for reducing the level of the pests.

Geometric approach to the stability analysis of the periodic solution in a semi-continuous dynamic system

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a long-term management strategy and has been proved to be more effective in pest control. To well-understand the mechanism and effect of the action of IPM, the geometric theory of the involved semi-continuous dynamic systems is becoming more and more important. In this work, a geometric approach is applied to analyze the stability of the positive order-one periodic solution in semi-continuous dynamic systems. A stability criterion to test the stability of the order-one periodic solution is established. As an application, a stage-structure model involved chemical control is presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method. The sufficient conditions to insure the existence of the periodic solution are provided. In addition, the number and the stability of the periodic solutions are discussed accordingly. The simulations are carried out to verify the results.

Optimal Control of Agricultural Insects with a Stage-Structured Model

A stage-structured pest control model with impulse effects by state feedback control is formulated, and a semicontinuous dynamic system and its successor functions are defined. The sufficient conditions of existence and attractiveness of order one periodic solution are obtained by the method of successor functions. The superiority of the state feedback control strategy in this paper is that we only need to monitor the sum of immature and mature pest populations. Moreover, our results show that our method used in this paper is more efficient and easier than the existing methods.
