Abstract

Systems of operator-differential equations which hysteresis operators can have unstable equilibrium points with an open basin of attraction. In this paper, a numerical example of a robust homoclinic loop is presented for the first time in a population dynamics model with hysteretic response of prey to variations of predator. A mechanism creating this homoclinic trajectory is discussed.
