Research paperDynamics analysis of a Filippov pest control model with time delay
Introduction
In natural and man-made systems, time delay is considered as a significant factor. Kuang [1] gave an example to show the importance of time delay. He said that animals need a time to predigest their food before further activities and responses occur. So, any model of species without time delay is an approximation at best [2]. Time delays arise in many systems and industrial processes, such as biological systems, metal forming, machining, thermal acoustics systems, and others [3], [4], [5], [6]. Moreover, dynamical systems with time delay demonstrates much more complex behaviors than those without time delay [7]. The presence of time delay in prey-predator models is attributed for two reasons [8], [9]. The first one is the time of gestation, and the other is the time of maturation. So, in order to ensure the realistic of the predator–prey models and to illustrate how the population dynamics of theses models depend on the past relevant information, it is indispensable to integrate delays into these models. In fact, time delays significantly impact the overall properties of dynamical systems. In the literature, many monographs have reported the theoretical analysis of the prey–predator with time delay, including hunting delay [10], the delay in dispersal [11], the gestation period for the predator [12] and intra-specific competition induced feedback delay [13].
Numerous problems in applied science have been modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs). However, instead of smooth ODEs, some of the applications are better designed using discontinuous ODEs [14], [15], [16]. These systems are distinguished by a discontinuity in their right-hand sides, which may be due to the system state reaching a discontinuous boundary or the discontinuities in evolution with respect to time [17], [18]. Thus, these systems can be used to describe many biological and physical processes which are distinguished by periods of smooth evolution being cut off by an instantaneous event or the systems whereby the physical states switch between two different states. Consequently, a different set of differential equations or maps can be used for describing each state when these states are modeled. In other words, the evolution of trajectories in each region can be defined by a smooth dynamical system and it loses its smoothness at the discontinuity due to instantaneous events [17], [18], [19]. Earlier studies were made on non-smooth systems [17], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25]
Among the non-smooth types and the most important is the Filippov system where appears pervasively in real life models such as mechanical models [26], electrical circuits [27], [28] and biological models [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35]. The Filippov system can be described in its simplest modelization, in which the discontinuity surface splits the state space into two regions. When the solution trajectory stays inside the same region and does not reach the discontinuity surface, then the dynamics behave as in a conventional smooth system. The question arises here, what will be happened when the trajectory reaches the discontinuity surface? There are two possible outcomes that can occur when the trajectory reaches the discontinuity surface. The trajectory either crosses it or stays on it. Therefore, in the latter case, it is required to describe the motion on the discontinuity surface which is called sliding motion [23].
The significant research is interested in the bifurcations of Filippov systems which focus on the bifurcations caused by the discontinuity surface, known as discontinuity-induced bifurcation [20] which cannot occur in smooth systems (ODEs). The discontinuity-induced bifurcation describes the interaction between a discontinuity boundary and an invariant set. Based on the kinds of invariant sets, discontinuity-induced bifurcations can be classified into pseudo-equilibrium bifurcations, boundary equilibrium bifurcations, sliding bifurcations, tangency point bifurcations and sliding homoclinic bifurcations, etc, for more details for each type see [36].
Meanwhile, there are many practical dynamical systems which are described by the time delay differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides. Whenever the non-smoothness of the dynamical system is caused by the implementation of a switch, it can be expected that there may be a delay in the actual switch like delayed relay models [37]. Usually, due to the growth of this delay, sliding along the switching manifold can occur in a very short time interval of a large number of switches [37], [38]. Based on functional differential inclusions, Zhang et al. [39], [40], [41] introduced the generalized Filippov solutions and the definition of the stability for discontinuous systems with time delay. Moreover, they provided some results about the feedback stabilization and the -gain problem for these systems by using Lyapunov-Krasovskii theorem. Recently, Cai et al. investigated the existence of periodic solutions for Filippov systems with time delay [42], [43], [44].
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, Filippov systems with time delay have not been fully considered in the literature. Motivated by this, we introduce a time delay Filippov system and shed light on deeper theoretical questions:
- •
It is well known that various complex phenomena arise as a result of the existence of a time delay in a nonlinear system such as bifurcation, multistability, chaos, hyperchaos, etc [4], [6], [10]. Therefore, what is the impact of the time delay on the dynamics of Filippov systems?
- •
Filippov systems are characterized by exhibiting discontinuity-induced bifurcations that have not existed in smooth systems or delay systems. Can the time delay parameter play a significant role in the discontinuity-induced bifurcations?
In order to answer these questions, an example represents a delay Filippov model is considered in the next section. Section 3 presents a detailed analysis of the local stability of the equilibria. In Section 4, the existence of sliding segments and sliding mode dynamics for the delay Filippov model are investigated. In order to confirm our analytic findings, some numerical simulations are presented in Section 5. In Section 6, the local and global sliding bifurcations are analyzed by using the numerical simulations. Then, in the last section, the conclusions are given.

Presentation of the delay Filippov prey predator model
To improve the performances of global agricultural and associated food systems, it is necessary to take curtailment the crop pests and pathogens into consideration. In addition rising pests lead to devour crops worldwide, which affects the quality of harvested production and could cause future food shortages. Thus, pests must be resisted and the losses caused by it need to be tackled. Therefore, it is necessary to apply effective strategies to dominate pest outbreaks. Integrated pest management

Conclusions
The threat posed to crop production by plant pests and diseases is one of the key factors that could lead to instability in global food security, and the problem is forecasted to get worse which the scientists have warned against. Therefore, understanding and appropriate use of IPM strategies in dealing with pests can maintain environmental quality and keep the stability of agricultural systems, therefore stability in global food security. Thus in this paper, we proposed a Filippov

Arafa et al. [32] further introduced time delay into a Filippov pest control model, where time delay represents the change of growth rate of the natural enemy before releasing it to feed on pests. To our best knowledge, this [32] is the first work to incorporate time delay into a Filippov predator-prey model.
