ABSTRACT:
The present investigation is an analytical study of three species system comprising two neutral species (First species N1 and Second species N2), which are ammensal on the third species (N3). The model is represented by a system of three first order non-linear ordinary differential equations. Interior equilibrium point is identified and the stability of interior equilibrium point was discussed using Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Further solutions of quasi-linearized equations are identified and the global stability is discussed by Lyapunov's function and the results are simulated by numerical examples using MatLab.
KEYWORDS:Neutralism, Ammensalism, Interior Equilibrium point, Global Stability, Lyapunov function.
INTRODUCTION:
Ammensalism is a relationship in which a product of one organism has a negative effect on another organism. It is specifically a population interaction in which one organism is harmed, while the other one is neither affected nor benefitted. The bread mold penicillium is a common example: penicillium secretes penicillin, a chemical that kills bacteria. A second example is cattle trails and forest growth. It is not uncommon to see twenty or thirty cows walking in a line down the paths as from one place to another as a group. These trails will be worn down dirt paths with no plant growth because they are frequently traveled by the herds. Ever since research in the discipline of theoretical ecology was initiated by Lotka[1] and Voltera [2].
Later on many mathematicians and ecologists contributed to the growth of this area as reported in the treaties of Meyer [3], Cushing [4], Kapur [5, 6] and Freedman [7]. Lakshmi Narayn. K [8], Lakshmi Narayan et al. [9] investigated prey-predator ecological models with a partial cover for the prey and alternative food for predator. Recently Kondala Rao et al [11,12, 13] discussed about three species prey-predation and ammensalism model with harvesting. Paparao. A. V. et al. [10, 13] discussed a three species ecological model with a prey, predator and a competitor to both the prey and predator and a prey, predator and a competitor to the predator model with Gestation period.
The Present investigationis an analytical study of three species synecological model in which the species of first kind (N1) and the species of second kind (N2) both ammensal on the species of third kind (N3). Here the species of first kind (N1) and the species of second kind (N2) are neutral to each other. The model is represented by a system of three ordinary differential equations. Interior equilibrium point is identified and the stability was discussed using Routh-Hurwitz criteria. Further solutions of quasi-linearized equations are obtained and the results are supported by Numerical simulation using Mat Lab.
2. Basic Equations:
The model equations for a three species syn-eco system are given by the following system of first order non-linear ordinary differential equations are given bellow
(2.1)
with the following notation
(t) :
Population of the ith species at time “ t”, i = 1, 2, 3.
:
Natural growth rate of the species
,
i=1, 2, 3.
:
Rate of decrease of species due to insufficient resources, i= 1, 2, 3.
:
Rate of decrease of the third species due to attacks of ith species,
i= 1, 2.
Further
the variables ![]()
are
non-negative and the model parameters
are
assumed to be non negative constants.
3. EQUILIBRIUM POINT:
The equilibrium point is identified by solving

and
(3.2)
The system under investigation has eight equilibrium points. Among these, the interior equilibrium point is
(3.3)
This
state would exists only when

4. STABILITY OF THE INTERIOR EQUILIBRIUM POINTS:
To
examine the stability of the equilibrium state (
) we
consider a small perturbation
such
that![]()

(4.1)
After linearization we get
(4.2)
Where
A=
(4.3)
And
. (4.4)
The
characteristic equation for the system is
. (4.5)
The equilibrium state is stable when the roots of the equation (4.5) are negative if they are real or have negative real parts are negative if they are complex.
Linearized equations for the equilibrium state (That is co-existing state or normal steady state) are
(4.6)
The characteristic equation for the co-existing state or normal steady state is
(4.7)
And the Eigen values for the characteristic equation (4.7) are
(4.8)
Here clearly all the Eigen values of the characteristic equation (4.8) are negative. Hence the equilibrium state is asymptotically stable by using Routh-Hurwitz criterion.
The solutions of perturbed equations are
(4.9)
NUMERICAL EXAMPLE:
Let a1=0.03, a2=0.8, a3=0.8, u10=0.15, u20=0.4, α11= 0.4, α22= 0.5, α31= 0.06, α32= 0.05, α33= 0.8.
Fig (1.A) Fig (1.B)
Figures (1.A) and (1.B) shows that the linearized state is asymptotically stable
5. GLOBAL STABILITY:
Theorem: The Interior equilibriumState is Globally Asymptotically Stable.
Proof: Let us consider the Lapunov function for the interior equilibrium state is
(5.1)
Here
(5.2)
Differentiate equation (5.1) with respect to‘t’, we get
(5.3)
(5.4)
(5.5)
By the proper choice of
(5.6)
Substitute
and
in (5.6),
we get
(5.7)
(5.8)
(5.9)
Since we have
(5.10)
Then
(5.11)
Substitute these all in equation (5.9), we get
(5.12)
(5.13)
(5.14)
(5.15)
Since
all
are
positive
Therefore the System is Globally Asymptotically Stable
6. NUMERICAL EXAMPLES:
EXAMPLE 1:
Let a1=0.03, a2=0.05, a3=0.08, α11=0.4, α22=0.5, α33=0.06, α31=0.06, α32=0.06, N10=5, N20=10, N30=15.
Fig (2.A) Fig (2.B)
In this figures2.A and2.B are trajectories and phase portrait in which the interacting coefficients of two species i.e., α31 and α32 are same (0.06) and the equilibrium point is (0.500812, 0.443787, 2.843224).
EXAMPLE 2:
Let a1=0.03, a2=0.05, a3=0.08, α11=0.4, α22=0.5, α33=0.06, α31=0.06, α32=0.6, N10=5, N20=10, N30=15.
Fig (6.2.A) Fig (6.2.B)
Figures 6.2.A and6.2.B represents where α31 is kept at same and α32 is increased (0.6) and the equilibrium point is (0.500812, 0.443787, 0.159545), which shows this case is more asymptotic stability than previous case when we increased the interacting coefficient between third species and first species then third species will be weekend .
EXAMPLE 3:
Let a1=0.03, a2=0.05, a3=0.08, α11=0.4, α22=0.5, α33=0.06, α31=0.6, α32=0.06, N10=5, N20=10, N30=15.
Fig (6.3.A) Fig (6.3.B)
Figures 6.3.A and6.3.B show that the deflections when α32 is increased to (0.6) and α31 is kept at same value (0.06) and the equilibrium point is (0.500812, 0.443787, 1.091639). That is when we increased the interacting coefficient between third species and second species then third species will be weekend.
7. CONCLUSION:
In this present investigation, we studied a three species syn-ecological model in which the first species and the second species ammensal on third species. Here first species and second species are neutral to each other. We understand that Interior equilibrium state is asymptotically stable we compared the numerical simulation by taking the different combinations of values for interacting coefficients.
From the Numerical Simulation, we observed that when the interacting co-efficient between two species is increased, two species were unaffected and third species weakened considerably. That is, when α21 was increased, N1 and N2 were unaffected and N3 is weakened considerably. All these cases supports the system is globally asymptotically stable.
