Rodellar For a class of impulsive predator-prey systems with Monod-Haldane functional response and seasonal effects, we investigate conditions for the local and global stabilities of prey-free solutions and for the permanence of the system by using the Flquet theory of impulsive differential equations and comparison techniques. In addition, we numerically analyze the phenomena caused by seasonal effects and impulsive perturbation. It will be applicable to the controllability for the population of prey and predator.

Introduction One of main goals in population dynamics is to understand the dynamical relationship between predator and prey. Such relationship can be represented as the functional response which refers to the change in the density of prey attached per unit time per predator as the prey density changes. Holling 1 gave three different kinds of functional response for di
