Bifurcations of a Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with fear, strong Allee effect and hunting cooperation

Considering the impact of fear levels, Allee effects and hunting cooperation factors on system stability, a Leslie-Gower predator-prey model was formulated. The existence, stability and bifurcation analysis of equilibrium points were studied by use of topological equivalence, characteristic equations, Sotomayor's theorem, and bifurcation theory. The sufficient conditions of saddle-node, Hopf, and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations were established, respectively. Numerically, the theoretical findings were validated and some complicated dynamical behaviors as periodic fluctuation and multi-stability were revealed. The parameter critical values of saddle-node, Hopf bifurcation, and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations were established. Biologically, how these factors of fear, Allee effect, and hunting cooperation affect the existence of equilibria and jointly affect the system dynamics were analyzed.
