<p> A model of two predators competing for the same prey also involving predation interaction between the two predators is considered. Coexistence in forms of equilibria and periodic orbits is obtained by using bifurcation and dynamical systems theory. Global dynamics is obtained by studying the survival functions and persistence is obtained by using a theorem of Freedman and Waltman. Finally, numerical results for a specific example demonstrate the above. A Hopf bifurcation at the interior equilibrium and its unstable periodic orbit are observed.</p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
