We study the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey model with double Allee effect For the temporal model we showed that thereexists a threshold of time delay in predator-prey interactions when time delay is below the threshold value the positive equilibriumElowast is stable However when time delay is above the threshold value the positive equilibrium Elowast is unstable and period solution willemerge For the spatiotemporal model through numerical simulations we show that the model dynamics exhibit rich parameterspace Turing structures The obtained results show that this system has rich dynamics these patterns show that it is useful for adelayed predator-prey model with double Allee effect to reveal the spatial dynamics in the real model
1 Introduction
The Allee effect named after the ecologist Warder ClydeAllee is a phenomenon in biology characterized by a corre-lation between population size or density and the mean indi-vidual fitness of a population or species [1] Allee effect canoccur whenever fitness of an individual in a small or sparsepopulation decreases as the population size or density alsodeclines [2 3] Allee effect contains two main types strongAllee effect and weak Allee effect A population exhibitinga weak Allee effect will possess a reduced per capita growthrate (directly related to individual fitness of the population)at lower population density or size However even at this lowpopulation size or density the population will always exhibita positive per capita growth rate Meanwhile a populationexhibiting a strong Allee effect will have a critical populationsize or density under which the population growth ratebecomes negativeTherefore when the population density orsize hits a number below this threshold the population willbe doomed
There have been a large group of papers on predator-prey systems with Allee effect [4ndash12] The most usual simple
mathematical example of an Allee effect is given by theequation

119889119879= 119903119873(1minus 119873
119870) (119873minus119898) (1)
where119873 denotes the population density 119903 is the intrinsic rateof increase 119870 is the carrying capacity and 119898 is threshold ofthe Allee effectThe population has a negative growth rate for119873 lt 119898 and a positive growth rate for 119873 gt 119898 If 119898 gt 0 (1)is a strong Allee effect if 119898 le 0 (1) is a weak Allee effectHowever two mechanisms of Allee effects acting in the samepopulation interact to produce an overall demographic Alleeeffect in a prey-predator interaction model which can alsobe common and can be complex [13] and their combinedinfluence is termed as double
There are also someworks done on predator-prey systemswith double Allee effect [14ndash16] Gonzalez-Olivares et alfound that the Gause-type predator-prey model with Alleeeffect can induce two limit cycles when the Allee effect iseither strong or weak [14] Huincahue-Arcos and Gonzalez-Olivares found that the Rosenzweig-MacArthur predation

model with double Allee effects may be expressed by differentmathematical formalizations with the form used here theexistence of one limit cycle surrounding a positive equilib-rium point is proved [15] Pal and Saha found that the ratiodependent prey-predator system with a double Allee effectexhibits the bistability and there exists separatrix curve(s) inthe phase plane implying that dynamics of the system arevery sensitive to the variation of the initial conditions [16]However these previous works did not take into account theeffect of space
Time delay plays an important role in many biologicaldynamical systems where time delays have been recognizedto contribute critically to the outcome for prey densitiesunder predation being stable or unstable [17] Time delaydue to gestation is included in some predator-prey modelsbecause generally a duration of 120591 time units elapses betweenthe time when an individual prey is killed and the momentwhen a corresponding increase in the predator populationis realized [18] Furthermore time delays can be used tointroduce oscillations [19 20]
In the present study our objective is to investigate apredator-prey model with double Allee effect and time delayMore specifically the primary objective of the present studyis to investigate the spatial patterns
2 Analysis of Temporal Model
In this section we consider a predator-prey model where theprey population growth is affected by double Allee effectswith time delay The following predator-prey model withdouble Allee effect has been proposed and studied [16]

where 119909 and 119910 stand for prey and predator density 119903 is theintrinsic rate of increase 119870 is the carrying capacity 119898 isthreshold of the Allee effect 119888 stands for capturing rate of thepredator 120599 stands for half capturing saturation constant 1198881stands for conversion rate of prey into predators biomass and119889 stands for natural death rate of predator
Following [16] through a nondimensional transforma-tion

V =120599

we arrive at the following equations
119889119906
119889119905=119906 (1 minus 119906) (119906 minus 120574)

In the section our objective is to investigate the predator-prey model with double Allee effect and time delay Themodel is given by

(6)
where 120591 gt 0 is a constant delay due to gestationWe analyze model (6) under the initial conditions
119906 (0) gt 0
V (0) gt 0(7)
Next we will discuss the dynamics of model (6) Wedetermined that model (6) andmodel (4) have two boundaryequilibria named 1198640 = (1 0) and 1198641 = (120574 0) and a uniquepositive equilibrium named 119864lowast = (119906

We aim to look for the conditions so that (119906lowast Vlowast) is stablefor the temporal model and is unstable for the spatiotemporalmodel We always assume that (119906lowast Vlowast) is linearly stable withrespect to the perturbation of 119906 and V thus the eigenvaluesof the Jacobian

det (119869) = 1198861111988622 minus 1198861211988621 gt 0(10)
Next we consider small spatiotemporal perturbations ℎand 119901 on a homogeneous steady state 119864lowast(119906lowast Vlowast) Let ℎ = 119906 minus
119906lowast and 119901 = V minus Vlowast then we derive that
119889ℎ
120597119905= 11988611ℎ + 11988612119901 (119905 minus 120591)
119889119901
120597119905= 11988621ℎ (119905 minus 120591) + 11988622119901
(11)
Spatiotemporal perturbations ℎ and 119901 are given by
ℎ = ℎlowast
119890120582119905 cos (119896
119909119909)
119901 = 119901lowast
119890120582119905 cos (119896
119909119909)
(12)
By substitution of this form in (11) we get the followingmatrix equation about eigenvalues
(120582 minus 11988611 minus11988612119890

Linear system (11) is characterized by the equation
1205822minus (11988611 + 11988622) 120582 + 1198861111988622 minus 1198861211988621119890
minus2120582120591= 0 (14)
If 120582 = 119894120596 is a root of (14) then we have
minus1205962+ 1198861111988622 = 1198861211988621cos (2120596120591)
(11988611 + 11988622) 120596 = 1198861211988621sin (2120596120591) (15)
which leads to

Then (16) has the solution

Now we investigate the sign of (119889Re(120582)119889120591)|120591=120591119888
Let 120582 =
120590 + 119894120596 be a solution of (14) then
Re (120582) = 1205902minus120596

Im (120582) = 2120590120596minus (11988611 + 11988622) 120596 + 1198861211988621119890minus2120590120591 sin (2120596120591)

(19)
By derivation of 120591 in both sides of (19) notice that120582 = 120590+119894120596 =
119894120596 we can get

(20)
where
119860 = minus (11988611 + 11988622) + 21205911198861211988621 cos (2120596120591)
119861 = 2120596minus 21205911198861211988621 sin (2120596120591)
119862 = 21205961198861211988621 sin (2120596120591)
119863 = 21205961198861211988621 cos (2120596120591)
(21)
Thus we can get

Binding (15) and (16) we obtain
minus (119860119862+119861119863) = 21205962(119886
211 + 119886

) gt 0 (23)
which implies that (119889Re(120582)119889120591)|120591=120591119888
gt 0 Furthermore weget the following conclusions If the delay 120591 is satisfied 120591 = 0then system (6) exhibits a Hopf bifurcation critical 120591 = 120591
119888
When 120591 lt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864

119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast is unstable and periodsolution will emerge
We take the following values 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03120575 = 058 and 120579 = 22 Through calculations we obtain thecritical value 120591

We adopt 120591 = 02 lt 120591119888 From Figure 1 we can see that the

We adopt 120591 = 081 gt 120591119888 From Figure 2 we can see that

Im (120582) = 0
Re (120582) = 0
at 119896 = 119896119879

4 Pattern Structures
In the following we will perform a series of numericalsimulations on the two-dimensional model (24) using zeroboundary conditions and119872times119873 discrete lattice
8 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society
For model (24) space and time were approximated usingthe finite difference method and Eulerrsquos method taking thetime step as Δ119905 = 001 the space step as Δℎ = 1 and 119872 =
119873 = 200 The results indicated that Δℎ and Δ119905 are reducedand do not lead to considerable changes in the results
In Figure 4 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 02 In this case theinfected populations exhibit stationary labyrinthine patterns
In Figure 5 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002We can see that shortstripe-like pattern and spotted patterns emerge coexist
In Figure 6 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 15 120574 = minus03 120575 = 11120579 = 22 1198891 = 005 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002 As time passesregular spotted patterns appear in space and the dynamics ofthe system do not undergo any further changes
5 Discussions
In this paper the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey modelwith double Allee effect were considered First we discussthe temporal model (6) we showed that there exists a Hopfbifurcation threshold 120591
119888of time delay when 120591 lt 120591
119888 the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast of system (6) is stable However
when 120591 gt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast of system (6)is unstable and period solution will emerge Second wediscuss the spatiotemporal model (24) the spatial patternsvia numerical simulations are illustrated which show thatthe model dynamics exhibit rich parameter space Turingstructures
Althoughmore work is needed in principle it seems thatdelay and diffusion are able to generate many different kindsof spatiotemporal patterns For such reasons we can predictthat delay and diffusion can be considered as an importantmechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporaldynamics in other models such as predator-prey model andmutualistic model

model with double Allee effects may be expressed by differentmathematical formalizations with the form used here theexistence of one limit cycle surrounding a positive equilib-rium point is proved [15] Pal and Saha found that the ratiodependent prey-predator system with a double Allee effectexhibits the bistability and there exists separatrix curve(s) inthe phase plane implying that dynamics of the system arevery sensitive to the variation of the initial conditions [16]However these previous works did not take into account theeffect of space
Time delay plays an important role in many biologicaldynamical systems where time delays have been recognizedto contribute critically to the outcome for prey densitiesunder predation being stable or unstable [17] Time delaydue to gestation is included in some predator-prey modelsbecause generally a duration of 120591 time units elapses betweenthe time when an individual prey is killed and the momentwhen a corresponding increase in the predator populationis realized [18] Furthermore time delays can be used tointroduce oscillations [19 20]
In the present study our objective is to investigate apredator-prey model with double Allee effect and time delayMore specifically the primary objective of the present studyis to investigate the spatial patterns
2 Analysis of Temporal Model
In this section we consider a predator-prey model where theprey population growth is affected by double Allee effectswith time delay The following predator-prey model withdouble Allee effect has been proposed and studied [16]

where 119909 and 119910 stand for prey and predator density 119903 is theintrinsic rate of increase 119870 is the carrying capacity 119898 isthreshold of the Allee effect 119888 stands for capturing rate of thepredator 120599 stands for half capturing saturation constant 1198881stands for conversion rate of prey into predators biomass and119889 stands for natural death rate of predator
Following [16] through a nondimensional transforma-tion
119906 =1119870119909
V =120599
119870119910

we arrive at the following equations

(6)
where 120591 gt 0 is a constant delay due to gestationWe analyze model (6) under the initial conditions
119906 (0) gt 0
V (0) gt 0(7)
Next we will discuss the dynamics of model (6) Wedetermined that model (6) andmodel (4) have two boundaryequilibria named 1198640 = (1 0) and 1198641 = (120574 0) and a uniquepositive equilibrium named 119864lowast = (119906

We aim to look for the conditions so that (119906lowast Vlowast) is stablefor the temporal model and is unstable for the spatiotemporalmodel We always assume that (119906lowast Vlowast) is linearly stable withrespect to the perturbation of 119906 and V thus the eigenvaluesof the Jacobian

Next we consider small spatiotemporal perturbations ℎand 119901 on a homogeneous steady state 119864lowast(119906lowast Vlowast) Let ℎ = 119906 minus
119906lowast and 119901 = V minus Vlowast then we derive that
119889ℎ
120597119905= 11988611ℎ + 11988612119901 (119905 minus 120591)

Spatiotemporal perturbations ℎ and 119901 are given by

By substitution of this form in (11) we get the followingmatrix equation about eigenvalues

If 120582 = 119894120596 is a root of (14) then we have

120590 + 119894120596 be a solution of (14) then
Re (120582) = 1205902minus120596
2minus (11988611 + 11988622) 120590 + 1198861111988622
minus 1198861211988621119890minus2120590120591 cos (2120596120591) = 0
Im (120582) = 2120590120596minus (11988611 + 11988622) 120596 + 1198861211988621119890minus2120590120591 sin (2120596120591)
= 0
(19)
By derivation of 120591 in both sides of (19) notice that120582 = 120590+119894120596 =
119894120596 we can get

(20)
where
119860 = minus (11988611 + 11988622) + 21205911198861211988621 cos (2120596120591)
119861 = 2120596minus 21205911198861211988621 sin (2120596120591)
119862 = 21205961198861211988621 sin (2120596120591)
119863 = 21205961198861211988621 cos (2120596120591)
(21)
Thus we can get

Binding (15) and (16) we obtain

which implies that (119889Re(120582)119889120591)|120591=120591119888
gt 0 Furthermore weget the following conclusions If the delay 120591 is satisfied 120591 = 0then system (6) exhibits a Hopf bifurcation critical 120591 = 120591
119888
When 120591 lt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864

We take the following values 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03120575 = 058 and 120579 = 22 Through calculations we obtain thecritical value 120591
119888= 07397 then 119864

We adopt 120591 = 02 lt 120591119888 From Figure 1 we can see that the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast is stable
We adopt 120591 = 081 gt 120591119888 From Figure 2 we can see that

4 Pattern Structures
In the following we will perform a series of numericalsimulations on the two-dimensional model (24) using zeroboundary conditions and119872times119873 discrete lattice
8 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society
For model (24) space and time were approximated usingthe finite difference method and Eulerrsquos method taking thetime step as Δ119905 = 001 the space step as Δℎ = 1 and 119872 =
119873 = 200 The results indicated that Δℎ and Δ119905 are reducedand do not lead to considerable changes in the results
In Figure 4 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 02 In this case theinfected populations exhibit stationary labyrinthine patterns
In Figure 5 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002We can see that shortstripe-like pattern and spotted patterns emerge coexist
In Figure 6 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 15 120574 = minus03 120575 = 11120579 = 22 1198891 = 005 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002 As time passesregular spotted patterns appear in space and the dynamics ofthe system do not undergo any further changes
5 Discussions
In this paper the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey modelwith double Allee effect were considered First we discussthe temporal model (6) we showed that there exists a Hopfbifurcation threshold 120591
119888of time delay when 120591 lt 120591
119888 the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast of system (6) is stable However
when 120591 gt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast of system (6)is unstable and period solution will emerge Second wediscuss the spatiotemporal model (24) the spatial patternsvia numerical simulations are illustrated which show thatthe model dynamics exhibit rich parameter space Turingstructures
Althoughmore work is needed in principle it seems thatdelay and diffusion are able to generate many different kindsof spatiotemporal patterns For such reasons we can predictthat delay and diffusion can be considered as an importantmechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporaldynamics in other models such as predator-prey model andmutualistic model

det (119869) = 1198861111988622 minus 1198861211988621 gt 0(10)
Next we consider small spatiotemporal perturbations ℎand 119901 on a homogeneous steady state 119864lowast(119906lowast Vlowast) Let ℎ = 119906 minus
119906lowast and 119901 = V minus Vlowast then we derive that
119889ℎ
120597119905= 11988611ℎ + 11988612119901 (119905 minus 120591)

120597119905= 11988621ℎ (119905 minus 120591) + 11988622119901
(11)
Spatiotemporal perturbations ℎ and 119901 are given by
ℎ = ℎlowast
119890120582119905 cos (119896

119901 = 119901lowast
119890120582119905 cos (119896
119909119909)
(12)
By substitution of this form in (11) we get the followingmatrix equation about eigenvalues

Linear system (11) is characterized by the equation
1205822minus (11988611 + 11988622) 120582 + 1198861111988622 minus 1198861211988621119890
minus2120582120591= 0 (14)
If 120582 = 119894120596 is a root of (14) then we have
minus1205962+ 1198861111988622 = 1198861211988621cos (2120596120591)
(11988611 + 11988622) 120596 = 1198861211988621sin (2120596120591) (15)
which leads to

Then (16) has the solution

Now we investigate the sign of (119889Re(120582)119889120591)|120591=120591119888
Let 120582 =

Im (120582) = 2120590120596minus (11988611 + 11988622) 120596 + 1198861211988621119890minus2120590120591 sin (2120596120591)

(19)
By derivation of 120591 in both sides of (19) notice that120582 = 120590+119894120596 =
119894120596 we can get

(20)
where
119860 = minus (11988611 + 11988622) + 21205911198861211988621 cos (2120596120591)
119861 = 2120596minus 21205911198861211988621 sin (2120596120591)
119862 = 21205961198861211988621 sin (2120596120591)
119863 = 21205961198861211988621 cos (2120596120591)
(21)
Thus we can get

Binding (15) and (16) we obtain
minus (119860119862+119861119863) = 21205962(119886
211 + 119886

which implies that (119889Re(120582)119889120591)|120591=120591119888
gt 0 Furthermore weget the following conclusions If the delay 120591 is satisfied 120591 = 0then system (6) exhibits a Hopf bifurcation critical 120591 = 120591
119888
When 120591 lt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864

119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast is unstable and periodsolution will emerge
We take the following values 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03120575 = 058 and 120579 = 22 Through calculations we obtain thecritical value 120591
119888= 07397 then 119864

We adopt 120591 = 02 lt 120591119888 From Figure 1 we can see that the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast is stable
We adopt 120591 = 081 gt 120591119888 From Figure 2 we can see that
the positive equilibrium 119864lowast is unstable

In the following we will perform a series of numericalsimulations on the two-dimensional model (24) using zeroboundary conditions and119872times119873 discrete lattice
8 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society
For model (24) space and time were approximated usingthe finite difference method and Eulerrsquos method taking thetime step as Δ119905 = 001 the space step as Δℎ = 1 and 119872 =
119873 = 200 The results indicated that Δℎ and Δ119905 are reducedand do not lead to considerable changes in the results
In Figure 4 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 02 In this case theinfected populations exhibit stationary labyrinthine patterns
In Figure 5 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002We can see that shortstripe-like pattern and spotted patterns emerge coexist
In Figure 6 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 15 120574 = minus03 120575 = 11120579 = 22 1198891 = 005 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002 As time passesregular spotted patterns appear in space and the dynamics ofthe system do not undergo any further changes
5 Discussions
In this paper the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey modelwith double Allee effect were considered First we discussthe temporal model (6) we showed that there exists a Hopfbifurcation threshold 120591
119888of time delay when 120591 lt 120591
119888 the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast of system (6) is stable However
when 120591 gt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast of system (6)is unstable and period solution will emerge Second wediscuss the spatiotemporal model (24) the spatial patternsvia numerical simulations are illustrated which show thatthe model dynamics exhibit rich parameter space Turingstructures
Althoughmore work is needed in principle it seems thatdelay and diffusion are able to generate many different kindsof spatiotemporal patterns For such reasons we can predictthat delay and diffusion can be considered as an importantmechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporaldynamics in other models such as predator-prey model andmutualistic model

In Figure 5 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002We can see that shortstripe-like pattern and spotted patterns emerge coexist

5 Discussions
In this paper the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey modelwith double Allee effect were considered First we discussthe temporal model (6) we showed that there exists a Hopfbifurcation threshold 120591
119888of time delay when 120591 lt 120591
119888 the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast of system (6) is stable However
when 120591 gt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast of system (6)is unstable and period solution will emerge Second wediscuss the spatiotemporal model (24) the spatial patternsvia numerical simulations are illustrated which show thatthe model dynamics exhibit rich parameter space Turingstructures
Althoughmore work is needed in principle it seems thatdelay and diffusion are able to generate many different kindsof spatiotemporal patterns For such reasons we can predictthat delay and diffusion can be considered as an importantmechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporaldynamics in other models such as predator-prey model andmutualistic model

4 Pattern Structures
In the following we will perform a series of numericalsimulations on the two-dimensional model (24) using zeroboundary conditions and119872times119873 discrete lattice
8 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society
For model (24) space and time were approximated usingthe finite difference method and Eulerrsquos method taking thetime step as Δ119905 = 001 the space step as Δℎ = 1 and 119872 =
119873 = 200 The results indicated that Δℎ and Δ119905 are reducedand do not lead to considerable changes in the results
In Figure 4 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 02 In this case theinfected populations exhibit stationary labyrinthine patterns
In Figure 5 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002We can see that shortstripe-like pattern and spotted patterns emerge coexist
In Figure 6 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 15 120574 = minus03 120575 = 11120579 = 22 1198891 = 005 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002 As time passesregular spotted patterns appear in space and the dynamics ofthe system do not undergo any further changes
5 Discussions
In this paper the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey modelwith double Allee effect were considered First we discussthe temporal model (6) we showed that there exists a Hopfbifurcation threshold 120591
119888of time delay when 120591 lt 120591
119888 the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast of system (6) is stable However
when 120591 gt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast of system (6)is unstable and period solution will emerge Second wediscuss the spatiotemporal model (24) the spatial patternsvia numerical simulations are illustrated which show thatthe model dynamics exhibit rich parameter space Turingstructures
Althoughmore work is needed in principle it seems thatdelay and diffusion are able to generate many different kindsof spatiotemporal patterns For such reasons we can predictthat delay and diffusion can be considered as an importantmechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporaldynamics in other models such as predator-prey model andmutualistic model

Im (120582) = 0
Re (120582) = 0
at 119896 = 119896119879

In the following we will perform a series of numericalsimulations on the two-dimensional model (24) using zeroboundary conditions and119872times119873 discrete lattice

For model (24) space and time were approximated usingthe finite difference method and Eulerrsquos method taking thetime step as Δ119905 = 001 the space step as Δℎ = 1 and 119872 =
119873 = 200 The results indicated that Δℎ and Δ119905 are reducedand do not lead to considerable changes in the results
In Figure 4 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 02 In this case theinfected populations exhibit stationary labyrinthine patterns
In Figure 5 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 08 120574 = minus03 120575 = 058120579 = 22 1198891 = 008 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002We can see that shortstripe-like pattern and spotted patterns emerge coexist
In Figure 6 we set 120572 = 06 120573 = 15 120574 = minus03 120575 = 11120579 = 22 1198891 = 005 1198892 = 1 and 120591 = 002 As time passesregular spotted patterns appear in space and the dynamics ofthe system do not undergo any further changes
5 Discussions
In this paper the dynamics of a delayed predator-prey modelwith double Allee effect were considered First we discussthe temporal model (6) we showed that there exists a Hopfbifurcation threshold 120591
119888of time delay when 120591 lt 120591
119888 the
positive equilibrium 119864lowast of system (6) is stable However
when 120591 gt 120591119888 the positive equilibrium 119864
lowast of system (6)is unstable and period solution will emerge Second wediscuss the spatiotemporal model (24) the spatial patternsvia numerical simulations are illustrated which show thatthe model dynamics exhibit rich parameter space Turingstructures
Althoughmore work is needed in principle it seems thatdelay and diffusion are able to generate many different kindsof spatiotemporal patterns For such reasons we can predictthat delay and diffusion can be considered as an importantmechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporaldynamics in other models such as predator-prey model andmutualistic model
