Influence of quantity of additional food in achieving biological conservation and pest management in minimum-time for prey-predator systems involving Holling type III response.

ABSTRACT: Incorporating additional food supplements into the predators' diet complementary to the target prey has gained importance over the years due to its pertinence in achieving biological conservation and biological control. Studies by theoretical ecologists and mathematicians reveal that by providing appropriate quality and quantity of additional food to the predator, the system could be driven either towards co-existence of species (to an admissible interior equilibrium), thereby achieving conservation or towards elimination of either of species achieving bio-control eventually with time. However, one of the limitations of these studies is that the desired state is reached only as asymptotes which makes the outcomes of the studies not that practically viable. In this work, to overcome the lim
