ABSTRACT: In this
paper, we propose a discrete ratio-dependent predator-prey system. The
stability of the fixed points of this model is studied. At the same time, it is
shown that the discrete model undergoes fold bifurcation and flip bifurcation
by using bifurcation theory and the method of approximation by a flow.
Numerical simulations are presented not only to demonstrate the consistence
with our theoretical analyses, but also to exhibit the complex dynamical
behaviors, such as the cascade of period-doubling bifurcation in period-2 and
the chaotic sets. The Maximum Lyapunov exponents are numerically computed to
confirm further the complexity of the dynamical behaviors. These results show
that the direct discrete method has more rich dynamic behaviors than the
discrete model obtained by Euler method.
