Abstract

A new asymptotic method for investigating complex relaxation oscillations in a system with delay is offered. By applying it, we can reduce the problem of predator–prey system dynamics to that of one-dimensional maps analysis. Some conclusions of a biological nature based on asymptotic analysis are made.
