Equilibrium, pseudoequilibrium and sliding-mode heteroclinic orbit in a Filippov-type plant disease model

Abstract Plant diseases have caused tremendous crop losses and have massive impacts on food security and environment. Modeling the spread of plant diseases and understanding the dynamics of the resulting plant disease models may provide practical insights on designing effective control measures. In this paper, by incorporating cultural strategies and economic threshold policy, we present a Filippov-type plant disease model. The resulting model has state dependent discontinuous right-hand side and thus non-smooth analysis and generalized Lyapunov approach are employed for model analysis. We show that the model exhibits the phenomena of stable equilibrium, unstable pseudoequilibrium as well as sliding-mode heteroclinic orbit. Biological implications of our results in implementing control strategies for plant diseases are also discussed.
