Dynamic Analysis of a Ratio-Dependent Food Chain Model with Prey-Taxis

In this paper, we consider a food chain model with ratio-dependent functional response and prey-taxis. We first investigate the global existence and boundedness of the unique positive classical solutions of the system in a bounded domain with smooth boundary and Neumann boundary conditions. Then, we analyze the local stability of the system and the existence of Hopf bifurcation. In addition, we prove the global asymptotic stability of steady states under some conditions by constructing a Lyapunov functional, and investigate convergence rates. Finally, we present several numerical simulations to illustrate the results.
