Stochastic difference equations with the Allee effect
Abstract
For a truncated stochastically perturbed equation with on , which corresponds to the Allee effect, we observe that for very small perturbation amplitude , the eventual behavior is similar to a non-perturbed case: there is extinction for small initial values in and persistence for for some satisfying . As the amplitude grows, an interval of initial values arises and expands, such that with a certain probability, sustains in , and possibly eventually gets into the interval , with a positive probability. Lower estimates for these probabilities are presented. If is large enough, as the amplitude of perturbations grows, the Allee effect disappears: a solution persists for any positive initial value.
