In this paper, the dynamics of a discrete-time chemostat model were investigated. The discretization was obtained using the piecewise constant argument method. An analysis was performed to determine the existence and stability of fixed points. In addition, we have shown that the model experiences transcritical and period-doubling bifurcations. Two chaos control techniques, feedback control and hybrid control, were employed to control bifurcation and chaos in the model. Moreover, we provided numerical simulations to substantiate our theoretical results. This study illustrates that the piecewise constant argument method is more dynamically consistent than the forward Euler method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, conventional Ricker maps have enjoyed widespread applications across crucial domains such as modeling and security. However, their limitation to a single changeable parameter poses constraints on their adaptability. This paper introduces a generalized form of the Ricker map, incorporating arbitrary powers, thus offering enhanced versatility compared to the traditional Ricker map. By introducing an additional parameter (arbitrary power), the map gains increased degrees of freedom, thereby accommodating a broader spectrum of applications. Consequently, the conventional Ricker map emerges as merely a special case within each proposed framework. This newfound parameter enhances system flexibility and elucidates the conventional system's performance across diverse contexts. Through numerous illustrations, we meticulously investigate the impact of the arbitrary power and equation parameters on equilibrium points, their positions, basin of attraction, stability conditions, and bifurcation diagrams, including the emergence of chaotic behavior.

This paper considered a functional model which splits to two types of equations, mainly, advance equation and delay equation. The advance equation was solved using an analytical approach. Different types of solutions were obtained for the advance equation under specific conditions of the model’s parameters. These solutions included the polynomial solutions of first and second degrees, the periodic solution and the hyperbolic solution. The periodic solution was invested to establish the analytical solution of the delay equation. The characteristics of the solution of the present model were discussed in detail. The results showed that the solution was continuous in the domain of the problem, under a restriction on the given initial condition, while the first derivative was discontinuous at a certain point and lied within the domain of the delay equation. In addition, some existing results in the literature were recovered as special cases of the current ones. The present successful analysis can be further generalized to include complex functional equations with an arbitrary function as an inhomogeneous term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we explore the existence of fixed points, local dynamics at fixed points, bifurcations and chaos of a discrete prey-predator fishery model with harvesting. More specifically, it is proved that, for all involved parameters, the model has trivial fixed point, but it has semitrivial and interior fixed points under definite parametric condition(s). We study the local behavior at fixed points by applying the theory of linear stability. Furthermore, it is shown that flip bifurcation does not occur at semitrivial and trivial fixed points, but that the model undergoes Neimark-Sacker bifurcation at interior fixed point. It is also proved that, at interior fixed point, the model undergoes the flip bifurcation. By using a feedback control strategy, the chaos control is also examined. Finally, to illustrate the theoretical findings, detailed numerical simulations are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We explored a local stability analysis at fixed points, bifurcations, and a control in a discrete Leslie's prey-predator model in the interior of R²+. More specially, it is examined that for all parameters, Leslie's model has boundary and interior equilibria, and the local stability is studied by the linear stability theory at equilibrium. Additionally, the model does not undergo a flip bifurcation at the boundary fixed point, though a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation exists at the interior fixed point, and no other bifurcation exists at this point. Furthermore, the Neimark-Sacker bifurcation is controlled by a hybrid control strategy. Finally, numerical simulations that validate the obtained results are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of this research paper is to analyze some behaviors including stability, period of solution, solution of a special case and numerical examples to illustrate the analysis for the following sixth-order difference equation Zn+1 = aZn-2 + ßZn-2 Zn-2-dZn-5, n = 0, 1, 2, 3,...., where the initial conditions z-5, z-4, z-3, z-2, z-1 and z0 are arbitrary real numbers and the values a, ß, and d are defined as positive constants.

This study examines the complexities of a discrete-time predator-prey model by integrating the impact of prey refuge, with the goal of providing a more realistic understanding of predator-prey interactions. We explore the existence and stability of fixed points within the model, offering a thorough examination of these critical aspects. Furthermore, we use center manifold and bifurcation theory to thoroughly analyze the presence and direction of period-doubling and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. We also provide numerical simulations to validate our theoretical findings and demonstrate the intricacy of the model. The findings suggest that the inclusion of prey refuge has a notable stabilizing impact on the predator-prey model, hence enhancing the overall stability and resilience of the ecosystem., (© 2025 Author(s).
