Stability Analysis and Control Optimization of a Prey-Predator Model with Linear Feedback Control

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2018
The application of pest management involves two thresholds when the chemical control and biological control are adopted, respectively. Our purpose is to provide an appropriate balance between the chemical control and biological control.
