Stability Analysis of a Discrete-Time Scavenger-Prey System

S. Elizabeth, Preethi Victor

Abstract


This paper deals with the prey species with scavenger. The model is developed with difference equations which is suitable when the population has non overlapping generations. Stability analysis is carried out for the equilibrium points.
