Abstract

In this study, an odour-mediated system is developed and studied. In an odor-mediated systems, the sense of smell or odour of species plays a critical role in the interactions between predators and prey. It is widely recognised in scientific literature that these systems are very common and essential across natural ecosystems. These systems are crucial for various behaviors, including foraging, mating, and avoiding predators. In this paper, it is assumed that the presence of prey odour aids the predator in its hunting efforts. It is assumed that both prey and intermediate predators seek refuge against their respective predators upon detecting the odour of their predators. In other words, the odour of predators assists prey species in evaluating the danger and seeking refuge for hiding. This model incorporates the prey species' harvesting as well. We also explore the impact of fading memory on the system by incorporating fractional derivatives into the model. The conditions for both the existence and local stability of the non-negative equilibria are derived. The current model system undergoes both Hopf and transcritical bifurcation when the parameter values are appropriately chosen. The dynamic behaviour of the system is showcased and thoroughly analysed using a range of diagrams, highlighting the impact of prey refuge and predator odour parameters. This paper extensively examines the long-term impacts of harvesting within the system. The extent to which prey odour influences the system is investigated, and it emerges that prey odour can play a significant function within the system. It has been observed that when individuals within the system have a strong memory, it positively affects the stability of the system. Numerical simulations are conducted in order to demonstrate and validate the usefulness of the model being considered, therefore supporting the analytical conclusions.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
