Abstract
In this paper, we studied a non-autonomous predator-prey system where the prey dispersal in a two-patch environment. With the help of a continuation theorem based on coincidence degree theory, we establish suf-ficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions. Finally, we give numerical analysis to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
Keywords:Periodic Solution, Coincidence Degree Theory, Stage-Structured, Impulsive
1. Introduction
In recent years, non-autonomous predator-prey systems have been widely studied [1-6]. There has been a grow-ing interest in the study of mathematical models of pop-ulations dispersing among patches in the nature world [3,7-9].
In the classical predator-prey models it is usually as-sumed that each individual predator admits the same abi- lity to feed on prey. However, it is different for some species whose individuals have a life history that takes them through two stages, immature and mature, where immature predators are raised by their parents, so many models with time delays and stage structure for both prey and predator were investigated and rich dynamics have been observed [4,6,10-12].
In this paper, we are considered the effects of prey dif- fusion in two patches and maturation delay for predator on the dynamics of an impulsive predator-prey model. We discuss the differential equation: (See 1.1)
Where we suppose that the system is composed of two patches connected by diffusion. x t1
and x t2
repre- sent the densities of prey species in patch I and II at time t,
1y t and y2
t represent the densities of the imma-ture and mature predator at time t in patch II, respectively.

3. Existence of Positive Periodic Solutions
In this section, we study the existence of positive period-ic solutions of system (1.1).Before stating our result on positive periodic solu-tions of system (1.1), we need the following lemma: Lemma 3.1 ([13]). Let Xbe an open bounded set. Let L be a Fredholm mapping of index zero and N
be Lcompact on . Assume
1)for each
0,1 ,x
is any solution ofLxNxsuch thatx ;
2)for eachQNx0for eachx KerL; 3) deg
JQN, KerL, 0
0.Then the equation LxNx has at least one solution in DomL.

4. Numerical Analysis
In this paper, we have focused on the dynamics comple- xity of a stage-structured system with diffusion and im-pulsive effects. By using the method of coincidence de-gree, we obtain the sufficient condition for the existence of at least one positive periodic solution. In this sec- tion, we give the numerical results.

Numerical analysis indicates that the complex dynam-ic behavior of system (1.1) depends on the values of im-pulsive perturbationsk,ik
i1, 2
in model (1.1). Ourtheoretical results are confirmed by numerical simula-tions. we can see that the dynamic behavior of the system (4.1) has obviously varied as the impulse value changing. Let10.001,20.002,0.003, it is easily proved
that the system (4.1) satisfies all the conditions of Theo-rem 3.1, that mean the system (4.1) has at least one posi-tive periodic solution (Figure 1). As impulses increase, the periodic oscillation of system (4.1) will be destroyed (Figure 2).
