Analysis Dynamics Two Prey of a Predator-Prey Model with Crowley–Martin Response Function

Abstract

The predator-prey model has been extensively developed in recent research. This research is an applied literature study with a proposed dynamics model using the Crowley–Martin response function, namely the development of the Beddington-DeAngelis response function. The aim of this research is to construct a mathematical model of the predator-prey model, equilibrium analysis and population trajectories analysis. The results showed that the predator-prey model produced seven non-negative equilibrium points, but only one equilibrium point was tested for stability. Stability analysis produces negative eigenvalues indicating fulfillment of the Routh-Hurwitz criteria so that the equilibrium point is locally asymtotically stable. Analysis of the stability of the equilibrium point indicates stable population growth over a long period of time. Numerical simulation is also given to see the trajectories of the population growth movement. The population growth of first prey and second prey is not much different, significant growth occurs at the beginning of the growth period, while after reaching the peak the trajectory growth slopes towards a stable point. Different growth is shown by the predator population, which grows linearly with time. The growth of predators is very significant because predators have the freedom to eat resources. Various types of trajectory patterns in ecological parameters show good results for population growth with the given assumptions.
