The Dynamics of a Model Three Species Predator-prey System with Choice

The work done to fullfil the requirements of the PhD
program through this dissertation cannot be
considered as complete. There are many areas of
study that needed redress. The ideas of
incorporating the resultant theory to solve a fifth
order eigenvalue problem are challenging, yet
needing proper documentation and full proof. Matlab
programs that were used to obtain solutions may not
be the best or efficient programs. But this research
endevour provides some alternative approach towards
resolution of equations and system of equations with
many parameter values. Introduction of a third
species that has a choice on food source is an idea
that must be explored often in this world of genetic
modified food technologies. We believe that this
work is continuous and open to diversified
applications.

Non-linear dynamical systems and chaos study lead to some understanding of population dynamics. Species interaction is what changes our environment. Survival strategies in predator- prey systems change the composition of living organisms in any ecosystem. This study focuses on the top predator having a choice of food in the system.
