Interspecific density-dependent model of predator–prey relationship in the chemostat

Résumé

The objective of this study is to analyze a model of competition for one resource in the chemostat with general inter-specific density-dependent growth rates, taking into account the predator-prey relationship. This relationship is characterized by the fact that the prey species promotes the growth of the predator species which in turn inhibits the growth of the first species. The model is a three-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. With the same dilution rates, the model can be reduced to a planar system where the two models have the same local and even global behavior. The existence and stability conditions of all steady states of the reduced model in the plane are determined according to the operating parameters. Using the nullcline method, we present a geometric characterization of the existence and stability of all equilibria showing the multiplicity of coexistence steady states. The bifurcation diagrams illustrate that the steady states can appear or disappear only through saddle-node or transcritical bi-furcations. Moreover, the operating diagrams describe the asymptotic behavior of this system by varying the control parameters and show the effect of the inhibition of preda-tion on the emergence of the bistability region and the reduction until the disappearance of the coexistence region by increasing this inhibition parameter.
