A Study Of The Effect Of Harvesting On A Discrete System With Two Competing Species, Rebecca G. Clark Jan 2016

A Study Of The Effect Of Harvesting On A Discrete System With Two Competing Species, Rebecca G. Clark

Theses and Dissertations

This is a study of the effect of harvesting on a system with two competing species. The system is a Ricker-type model that extends the work done by Luis, Elaydi, and Oliveira to include the effect of harvesting on the system. We look at the uniform bound of the system as well as the isoclines and perform a stability analysis of the equilibrium points. We also look at the effects of harvesting on the stability of the system by looking at the bifurcation of the system with respect to harvesting.
