Description
Summary:In this paper, we consider an autonomous two-dimensional ODE Kolmogorov-type system with three parameters, which is a particular system of the general predator–prey systems with a Holling type II. By reformulating this system as a set of two second-order differential equations, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of the system from the Jacobi stability point of view using the Kosambi–Cartan–Chern (KCC) geometric theory. We then determine the nonlinear connection, the Berwald connection, and the five KCC invariants which express the intrinsic geometric properties of the system, including the deviation curvature tensor. Furthermore, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the parameters of the system in order to have the Jacobi stability near the equilibrium points, and we point these out on a few illustrative examples.
