Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how allelochemicals influence plant population dynamics using a mathematical model.
  • Developed a delay-differential model for three plant populations.
  • Analyzed stability at a non-zero equilibrium using Routh–Hurwitz criteria.
  • Examined the occurrence of Hopf-bifurcation with varying delay parameters.
  • Utilized MATLAB for system dynamics visualization.
  • Allelochemicals demonstrated both positive and negative impacts on plant interactions.
  • Stability analysis revealed significant effects at non-zero equilibrium points.
  • Hopf-bifurcation occurred at specific delay parameter thresholds.

Abstract

Allelochemicals are chemical compounds produced by plants that can have both positive and negative effects on the growth and survival of other plants in the same population. They are important components of interplant interactions and play a significant role in maintaining the diversity and stability of plant populations. We have taken three plant populations Formula: see text in the proposed mathematical model. The interactions between Formula: see text plant populations respectively, and Formula: see text plant population release allelochemicals and affect the Formula: see text plant population. Delay is introduced into the Formula: see text plant population to examine the allelopathic effect. The stability is analyzed at a non-zero equilibrium point using the Routh–Hurwitz criteria. Hopf-bifurcation is observed when the delay parameter crosses the threshold value. A similar study of these chemical compounds is possible by using graph theoretical and combinatorial results. So-called topological graph indices are used to study the properties of these chemical structures in many ways. MATLAB is used to draw the dynamic system. Additionally, this research paper plays a significance in climate change.
