A density-dependent predator-prey model of Beddington-DeAngelis type

Abstract

In this article, we study the dynamics of a density-dependent predator-prey system of Beddington-DeAngelis type. We obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of a unique positive equilibrium, the global attractiveness of the boundary equilibrium, and the permanence of the system, respectively. Moreover, we derive a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium by the Lyapunov function theory and a sufficient condition for the global attractiveness of the positive equilibrium by the comparison theory.
