Survival analysis for a periodic predator-prey model with prey impulsively unilateral diffusion in two patches

In this paper, we study a periodic predator-prey system with prey impulsively unilateral diffusion in two patches. Firstly, based on the results in [41], sufficient conditions on the existence, uniqueness and globally attractiveness of periodic solution for predator-free and prey-free systems are presented. Secondly, by using comparison theorem of impulsive differential equation and other analysis methods, sufficient and necessary conditions on the permanence and extinction of prey species x with predator have other food source are established. Finally, the theoretical results both for non-autonomous system and corresponding autonomous system are confirmed by numerical simulations, from which we can see some interesting phenomena happen.
