In this paper, we study the effects of the nonlocal competition and double Allee effect in prey on a diffusive predator–prey model. We investigate the local stability of coexistence equilibrium in the predator–prey model by analyzing the eigenvalue spectrum. We study the consequence of double Allee effect on the prey population. Also, we discuss the existence of Hopf bifurcation under different parameters by using the gestation time delay of predators as a bifurcation parameter and analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues. By utilizing the normal form method and center manifold theorem, we have given some conditions that could determine the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. Through our research, we obtain that the double Allee effect can affect the coexistence of prey and predator and induce periodic oscillations of the densities of prey and predator. In addition, the nonlocal competition can also affect the stability and homogeneity of the solutions, but may receive the consequences of the Allee effect as well as time delay. In the numerical simulation part, we further demonstrate the correctness of this conclusion by comparison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, a Leslie-Gower model with a weak Allee effect on the prey and a fear effect on the predator is proposed. By using qualitative analyses, the local stability of the coexisting equilibrium and the existence of Turing instable are discussed. By analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues, the existence of a Hopf bifurcation is studied by using the gestation time delay as a bifurcation parameter. By utilizing the normal form method and the center manifold theorem, we calculate the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. We indicate that both the weak Allee effect on the prey and fear effect on the predator have an important impact on the dynamical behaviour of the new Leslie-Gower model. We also verify the obtained results by some numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The nonlocal competition in prey is incorporated into a diffusive predator–prey model with additional food in predator and time delay. The local stability of the coexisting equilibrium is studied by analyzing the eigenvalue spectrum. Time delay inducing Hopf bifurcation is also investigated by using time delay as bifurcation parameter. Some conditions for determining the bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given by utilizing the normal form method and center manifold theorem. Our results suggest that nonlocal competition together with time delay can induce spatially inhomogeneous bifurcating periodic solutions in the diffusive predator–prey model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
