Abstract

A three-species ratio-dependent predator prey model system is considered. The global dynamic behavior of the model is investigated through (local) stability results for its equilibriums and large time computer simulations. Irregular patterns and existence of complex dynamics are noticed for different sets of parameter values. The model is shown to have chaotic attractors for suitable choice of values of parameters.
