The stochastic sensitivity function method in analysis of the piecewise-smooth model of population dynamics

Abstract

This work is devoted to the application of the stochastic sensitivity function method to attractors of a piecewise-smooth one-dimensional map describing the dynamics of the population size. The first stage of the study is a parametric analysis of possible modes of the deterministic model: the definition of zones of existence of stable equilibria and chaotic attractors. The theory of critical points is used to determine the parametric boundaries of a chaotic attractor. In the case where the system is influenced by a random effect, based on the technique of the stochastic sensitivity function, a description of the spread of random states around the equilibrium and chaotic attractor is carried out. A comparative analysis of the influence of parametric and additive noise on the attractors of the system is conducted. Using the technique of confidence intervals, probabilistic mechanisms of extinction of a population under the influence of random disturbances are studied. Changes in the parametric boundaries of the existence of a population under the impact of a random perturbation are analyzed.
