Abstract:
      In this paper, we focus on stability analysis of steady-state solutions of a predator-prey system with hunting cooperation functional response. The results show that the Turing instability can be affected not only the existence of hunting cooperation, but also the diffusion coefficients: (1) in the absence of predator diffusion, diffusion-driven instability can be induced by hunting cooperation, but no stable patterns appear; (2) the system can occur diffusion-driven instability and Turing patterns, when both predator and prey have diffusion, and the diffusion coefficient of prey is greater than that of the predator. The numerical simulations of two cases are presented to verify the validity of our theoretical results.
