Hopf bifurcation in a two-competitor, one-prey system with time delay

摘要

In this paper, we consider a delayed two-competitor/one-prey system in which both two competitors exhibit Holling II functional response. By choosing the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, it is found that the Hopf bifurcation occurs when the delay passes through a certain critical value. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the analytical results.
