Stochastic sensitivity analysis and early warning signals of critical transitions in a tri-stable prey-predator system with noise.

Near a tipping point, small changes in a certain parameter cause an irreversible shift in the behavior of a system, called critical transitions. Critical transitions can be observed in a variety of complex dynamical systems, ranging from ecology to financial markets, climate change, molecular bio-systems, health, and disease. As critical transitions can occur suddenly and are hard to manage, it is important to predict their occurrence. Although it is very tough to predict such critical transitions, various recent works suggest that generic early warning signals can detect the situation when systems approach a critical point. The most important indicator that predicts the risk of an upcoming critical transition is critical slowing down (CSD). CSD indicates a slow recovery rate from external perturbations of the stable state close to a bifurcation point. In this contribution, we study a two dimensional prey-predator model. Without any noise, the prey-predator model shows bistability and tri-stability due to the Allee effect in predators. We explore the critical transitions when external noise is added to the prey-predator system. We investigate early warning indicators, e.g., recovery rate, lag-1 autocorrelation, variance, and skewness to predict the critical transition. We explore the confidence domain method using the stochastic sensitivity function (SSF) technique near a stable equilibrium point to find a threshold value of noise intensity for a transition. The SSF technique in a two stage transition through confidence ellipse is described. We also show that the possibility of a transition to the predator-free state is independent of initial conditions. Our result may serve as a paradigm to understand and predict the critical transition in a two dimensional system.
