Firstly, we conduct mathematical analysis on the equilibrium solutions of the system. Using techniques from calculus we show that particular steady state solutions exist when the parameters of the system meet certain criteria.… more Full Text: MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY: ANALYSIS OF PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEMS IN PATCHY ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCED BY THE FEAR EFFECT A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the …
