Positivity of solutions, boundedness and local asymptotic stability of equilibria were investigated for continuous type of the prey每predator system. In order to discuss the rich dynamics of the proposed model, a piecewise constant argument was implemented to obtain a discrete counterpart of the continuous system. Moreover, in the case of a discrete-time prey每predator model, the boundedness of solutions and local asymptotic stability of equilibria were investigated. With the help of the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory, we investigated whether a discrete-time model undergoes period-doubling and Neimark每Sacker bifurcation at its positive steady-state. Finally, two novel generalized hybrid feedback control methods are presented for chaos control under the influence of period-doubling and Neimark每Sacker bifurcations. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies, numerical simulations are presented %K Prey每predator model %K period-doubling bifurcation %K Neimark每Sacker bifurcation %K chaos control %K 2010 AMS Mathematics subject classifications %K 39A30 %K 40A05 %K 92D25 %K 92C50 %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1077546318790871
