Bifurcations, stability switches and chaos in a diffusive predator-prey model with fear response delay

  • Received: 06 May 2023 Revised: 15 June 2023 Accepted: 28 June 2023 Published: 17 July 2023
  • Recent studies demonstrate that the reproduction of prey is suppressed by the fear of predators. However, it will not respond immediately to fear, but rather reduce after a time lag. We propose a diffusive predator-prey model incorporating fear response delay into prey reproduction. Detailed bifurcation analysis reveals that there are three different cases for the effect of the fear response delay on the system: it might have no effect, both stabilizing and destabilizing effect, or destabilizing effect on the stability of the positive equilibrium, respectively, which are found by numerical simulations to correspond to low, intermediate or high level of fear. For the second case, through ordering the critical values of Hopf bifurcation, we prove the existence of stability switches for the system. Double Hopf bifurcation analysis is carried out to better understand how the fear level and delay jointly affect the system dynamics. Using the normal form method and center manifold theory, we derive the normal form of double Hopf bifurcation, and obtain bifurcation sets around double Hopf bifurcation points, from which all the dynamical behaviors can be explored, including periodic solutions, quasi-periodic solutions and even chaotic phenomenon.

    In numerous practical situations, the datasets are measured in the number of cycles, runs, and/or shocks the device sustains before its failure. For example, the number of voltage fluctuations, the lifetime of a discrete random variable (rv), and frequency of a device switched on/off, the life of a weapon is measured by the number of rounds fired before failure, and the number of completed cycles measures the life of the equipment. Further, the number of patients, number of deaths due to a disease/virus, and number of days a patient stays in a hospital ward. Various discrete probability models can be adopted to analyze such types of datasets.

    The well-known traditional discrete probability models, including the negative binomial, geometric, and Poisson distributions have limitations to use due to their specific behavior such as the Poisson distribution that performs better with datasets having dispersion equal to average; the NB distribution is applicable for over-dispersed datasets. The real-life datasets may be over-dispersed or under-dispersed, so there is always a clear need for flexible discrete distributions to have a good resolution.

    Several discretized forms of continuous distributions have been derived to model different count datasets in the last few decades. The most notable discretization approach in the literature is the survival discretizing approach which has gained much attention.

    Let rv X follows a continuous distribution with survival function (sf) S(x). Using the survival discretization approach introduced by Kemp (2004), the probability mass function (pmf) of a discrete rv follows as

    p(x)=P(X=x)=S(x)S(x+1),x=0,1,2,3, (1)

    The survival discretization approach has been adopted to develop many discrete models. For example, the discrete normal [1], discrete Rayleigh [2], discrete half-normal [3], discrete Burr and discrete Pareto [4], discrete inverse-Weibull [5], new generalization of the geometric [6], discrete Lindley [7], generalized exponential type Ⅱ [8], discrete inverse-Rayleigh [9], two-parameter discrete Lindley [10], discrete log-logistic [11], discrete extended Weibull [12], exponentiated discrete-Lindley [13], discrete Burr-Hutke [14], discrete Marshall-Olkin Weibull [15], natural discrete-Lindley [16], discrete Bilal [17], discrete inverted Topp-Leone [18], uniform Poisson–Ailamujia [19], exponentiated discrete Lindley [20], discrete exponentiated Burr–Hatke [21], discrete Ramos-Louzada [22] and [23], and discrete type-Ⅱ half-logistic exponential [24].

    The main goal of the present study is to introduce a new discrete distribution to model over-dispersed as well as under-dispersed datasets. The proposed distribution is called the discrete power-Ailamujia (DsPA) distribution. The mathematical properties of the DsPA distribution are derived and its parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. Three real count datasets are fitted using the DsPA model and other competing discrete distributions. The DsPA distribution provides a better fit to the three datasets than some well-known discrete models according to the results of the simulation.

    The paper is organized in the following sections. Section 2 is devoted to the derivation of the new DsPA distribution. Its mathematical properties are explored in Section 3. Section 4 is devoted to estimating the DsPA parameters and providing a comprehensive simulation study. The usefulness of the DsPA distribution is addressed in Section 5. Finally, we conclude the study in Section 6.

    Jamal et al. [25] proposed a new continuous lifetime distribution called the power-Ailamujia distribution. Its probability density function and sf can be expressed as

    f(x)=θ2βx2β1eθxβ,x0,θ,β>0 (2)

    and

    S(x)=(1+θxβ)eθxβ,x0,θ,β>0, (3)

    respectively.

    Applying the survival discretization approach in (1), the rv X is said to have the DsPA distribution with parameters 0<λ<1 and β>0, if its sf takes the form

    S(x;λ,β)=λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ],xN0, (4)

    where λ=eθ and N0={0,1,2,,w} for 0<w<.

    The corresponding cumulative distribution function (cdf) and pmf can be expressed as

    F(x;λ,β)=1λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ],xN0 (5)

    and

    Px(x;λ)=λxβ[1xβlnλ]λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ],xN0. (6)

    Plots of the DsPA pmf, for various values of the parameters λ and β, are presented in Figure 1.

    Figure 1.  Shapes of the DsPA pmf for some values of λ and β.

    The hazard rate function (hrf) of the DsPA distribution can be expressed as

    h(x;λ)=p(x)S(x)=λxβ[1xβlnλ]λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]1,xN0 (7)

    where h(x;λ)=P(x)S(x). Figure 2 shows the DsPA hrf plots for different values of λ and β.

    Figure 2.  Shapes of the DsPA hrf for some values of λ and β.

    The quantile function of the DsPA distribution reduces to

    Q(u)=1[1(x+1)βlnλ]λ(x+1)β,0<u<1,

    where x denotes the integer part of x.

    The reverse hrf (rhrf) of the DsPA distribution is defined as

    r(x)=p(x)F(x)=λxβ[1xβlnλ]λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]1λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ],xN0, (8)

    where r(x)=P(x)F(x). Figure 3 shows the DsPA rhrf plots for several values of λ and β.

    Figure 3.  Possible shapes of the DsPA rhrf for several values of λ and β.

    The second failure rate of the DsPA distribution is expressed by

    r(x)=log{S(x)S(x+1)}=log{λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]λ(x+2)β[1(x+2)βlnλ]},xN0. (9)

    The recurrence relation of probabilities from the DsPA distribution has the form

    P(x+1)P(x)=λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]λ(x+2)β[1(x+2)βlnλ]λxβ[1xβlnλ]λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]. (10)

    Hence,

    P(x+1)=λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]λ(x+2)β[1(x+2)βlnλ]λxβ[1xβlnλ]λ(x+1)β[1(x+1)βlnλ]P(x).

    In this section, we studied some mathematical properties of the DsPA distribution. In this section, we studied some mathematical properties of the DsPA distribution.

    The probability generating function (pgf) of the DsPA distribution is given as follows

    Gx(z)=1+(z1)x=1zx1(1xβlnλ)λxβ, (11)

    where Gx(z)=x=0zxP(x). The moment generating function (mgf) can be obtained by replacing z with ez in Eq (11). Thus, the mgf of the DsPA distribution can be expressed as

    Mx(z)=1+(ez1)x=1(ez)x1(1xβlnλ)λxβ. (12)

    Thus, the first four moments of the DsPA distribution are

    E(X)=x=1(1xβlnλ)λxβ, (13)
    E(X2)=x=1(2x1)(1xβlnλ)λxβ,
    E(X3)=x=1(3x23x+1)(1xβlnλ)λxβ

    and

    E(X4)=x=1(4x36x2+4x1)(1xβlnλ)λxβ.

    Using the above moments, the variance (σ2), coefficient of skewness (CS), and coefficient of kurtosis (CK) can be presented in closed-form expressions. Further, another classical concept, called dispersion index (DI). The DI is defined as a variance to mean ratio. If the DI value is less than 1, then the model is suitable for under-dispersed datasets. Conversely, if the DI is greater than 1, then it is suitable for over-dispersed datasets. Numerical values of the mean, E(X), σ2, CS, CK and DI are reported in Tables 15.

    From Tables 15, we can conclude that the mean is an increasing function of λ and a decreasing function of β. It is clear that the skewness of the DsPA distribution can be positive or negative. The DI showing increasing behavior for larger values of the parameter λ and small values of β. Further, the DsPA distribution is suitable for over-dispersed and under-dispersed data sets.

    The MRL function is a helpful reliability characteristic to model and analyze the burn-in and maintenance policies. Consider the rv X that has the cdf F(.). For a discrete rv, the MRL function is defined by

    MRL=ε(i)=E(Xi|Xi)=11F(i1,λ)wj=i+1[1F(j1,λ)],iN0,

    where N0={0,1,2,,w} and 0<w<.

    Then, the MRL of the DsPA model reduces to

    MRL=11F(i1,λ,β)wj=i+1[1F(j1,λ,β)]
    =1[1(i)βlnλ]λ(i)βwj=i+1[1(j)βlnλ]λ(j)β
    =1[1(i)βlnλ]λ(i)β[wj=i+1λ(j)βlnλwj=i+1(j)βλ(j)β].

    In this section, the parameters λ and β are estimated using the maximum likelihood (ML) method.

    Suppose x1,,xn be a random sample from the DsPA distribution with pmf (6). Then the log-likelihood function takes the form

    L=1[1(i)βlnλ]λ(i)βwj=i+1[1(j)βlnλ]λ(j)β. (14)

    Now, by differentiating (14) w.r.t λ and β, we can write

    Lλ=ni=1lnλ[(xi+1)2βλ(xi+1)βxi2βλxiβ]λ{[1xiβlnλ]λxiβ[1(xi+1)βlnλ]λ(xi+1)β}=0 (15)

    and

    Lβ=ni=1(lnλ)2[λ(xi+1)β(xi+1)2βln(xi+1)λxiβxi2βlnxi]{[1xiβlnλ]λxiβ[1(xi+1)βlnλ]λ(xi+1)β}=0. (16)

    The ML estimates (MLEs) of λ and β follow from the above equation. Eqs (15) and (16) can be solved using iterative procedures such as Newton-Raphson. For this purpose, we use the maxLik function of R software [26].

    In this section, we carried out a numerical simulation to access the performance of the ML estimation method. This assessment is done by generating N=10,000 samples using the qf of the DsPA model for different sample sizes n=10,20,50, and 100 and for several values of the parameters λ and β, where (λ,β)=(0.50,0.50),(0.50,2.0),(0.90,1.20),(0.90,2.0). The assessment is completed using absolute bias, mean relative errors (MREs), and mean square errors (MSEs) which are defined by

    Bias(δ)=1NNi=1|ˆδiδ|,MSE(δ)=1NNi=1(ˆδiδ)2andMRE(δ)=1NNi=1ˆδiδi,

    where δ=(λ,β).

    The simulation results for λ and β are reported in Tables 68. The bias, MSE and MRE of the parameters λ and β are computed using the R program using the ML method. For all values of λ and β, the ML estimation approach illustrates the consistency property, that is, the MSEs and MREs decrease as n increases.

    The findings in Tables 1113 illustrate that the DsPA distribution provides a superior fit over other competing discrete models, since it has the lowest values for all measures and the largest K-S p-value.

    In this study, a new one-parameter discrete model is proposed as a good alternative to some well-known discrete distributions. The newly introduced model is called the discrete-power-Ailamujia (DsPA) distribution. Some statistical properties of the DsPA distribution are derived. Its parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. A simulation study is carried out to check the performance of the estimators. It is observed that the maximum likelihood method is efficient in estimating the DsPA parameters for large samples. Finally, three real-world datasets are analyzed to check the usefulness and applicability of the DsPA distribution. The goodness-of-fit measures and figures show that the DsPA distribution is a useful attractive alternative for competing discrete models.
