On the Dynamics of a General Predator-Prey System

M. M.A. El-Sheikh, S. A.A. El-Marouf and Z. M. Alaofy

Abstract

Problem statement: In this study a general two dimensional predator-prey model is considered. The dynamic and existence of equilibrium points are studied. Conclusion/Recommendations: Hopf bifurcation is discussed. The existence and uniqueness of limit cycles is proved. Special cases are considered to justify our results.
