Qualitative Analysis of a Spatiotemporal Prey-Predator Model with Additive Allee Effect and Fear Effect

Abstract

A diffusive predator-prey system with both the additive Allee effect and the fear effect in the prey subject to Neumann boundary conditions is considered in this paper. Firstly, non-negative and non-trivial solution a priori estimations are shown. Furthermore, for specific parameter ranges, the absence of non-constant positive solutions is demonstrated. Secondly, we use the linearized theory to investigate the stability of non-negative constant solutions. The spatially homogeneous and non-homogeneous periodic solutions, as well as non-constant steady state solutions, are next investigated by using Allee effect parameters as the bifurcation parameter. Finally, numerical simulation is used to illustrate some theoretical results.
