Dynamical analysis of the pest control model with multiple delays and impulsive effects
Abstract
In recent years, the suppression of disease population in pest control has gained popularity and remains a pressing issue in agricultural production. Additionally, the mathematical modeling method is often exploited to study the dynamics of different infectious diseases. A new pest control model with multiple delays and impulsive effects is developed and investigated. Firstly, the global attractivity of infection-free periodic solution of the system is proved by applying the theory of impulsive differential equation and comparative theorem. Secondly, the persistence of the infection-free periodic solution of the proposed model is also proved. Finally, the theoretical analysis results are validated by numerical simulations and some suggestions on how to better control the pests are presented.
