Abstract
All the time, differential dynamical models with delay has witness a tremendous application value in characterizing the internal law among diverse biological populations in biology. In the current article, on the basis of the previous publications, we formulate a new Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system accompanying delay. Utilizing fixed point theorem, inequality tactics and an appropriate function, we gain the sufficient criteria on existence and uniqueness, non-negativeness and boundedness of the solution to the formulated delayed Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system. Making use of stability and bifurcation theory of delayed differential equation, we focus on the emergence of bifurcation behavior and stability nature of the formulated delayed Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system. A new delay-independent stability and bifurcation conditions on the model are presented. By constructing a positive definite function, we explore the global stability. By constructing two diverse hybrid delayed feedback controllers, we can adjusted the domain of stability and time of appearance of Hopf bifurcation of the delayed Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system. The effect of time delay on the domain of stability and time of appearance of Hopf bifurcation of the model is given. Matlab experiment diagrams are provided to sustain the acquired key outcomes.

1. Introduction
It is well known that the delayed dynamical model is a vital tool to solve many biological questions. In order to describe the interrelation and internal law of biological populations, many scholars pay great attention to the construction of various predator-prey models. By exploring the various dynamical behaviors of predator-prey models, we can effectively control the densities of predators and prey in the natural world. Recently, many works on predator-prey models have been published and a great deal of excellent works have been presented. For instance, Xiang and Wang [1] focused on the stabilization and boundedness of a prey-predator system involving disease in predator and prey-taxis. Peng and Yu [2] discussed the Turing pattern in a diffusive prey-predator system involving herd behavior and nonlocal delay. Khan et al. [3] investigated the bifurcations and chaos of a 2D discrete prey-predator system. Yan et al. [4] analyzed the bifurcation and stationary pattern in a Leslie–Gower prey-predator system involving prey-taxis. For more detailed studies, one can see [5,6,7,8,9,10].
In 2020, Zhu et al. [11] proposed the following Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system:
where represents the density of the first species and represents the density of the second species, stand for the intrinsic growth of , respectively, are the carrying capacities of , a is the relationship coefficient between and , are catchability parameters, E stands for a fishing business that is used for harvest, is the proper real constant. All the parameters are positive constants. For a more concrete meaning of model (1) one can see [11]. Zhu et al. [11] explored the partial survival extinction and global stability of the equilibrium point of model (1). Here we would like to point out that in many cases, the development of species relies on not only the current time but also the history time, based on this viewpoint, it is necessary to introduce delay into the biological models. According to this idea, we assume that there exists a self-feedback time from the first species to the first species and a self-feedback time from the first species to the first species . Then we can lightly formulate the following delayed Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system:
where is a time delay that stands for self-feedback time.
From the viewpoint of mathematics, delay is a vital factor that affects the dynamical traits of various differential systems. In various cases, a delay will result in an alteration of stability, the emergence of bifurcation and the onset of chaos and so on [12]. One can also see [13,14,15,16,17,18,19]. In particular, delay-caused Hopf bifurcation is an important dynamical phenomenon. Biologically, delay-caused Hopf bifurcation can give a good description of the balanced relationship among the density of various biological populations. In order to reveal the interaction relationship of various biological populations, we argue that it is of great importance to explore the delay-caused Hopf bifurcation for many biological models. Inspired by this idea above, we are to focus on the delay-caused Hopf bifurcation and control aspect of bifurcation for system (2). To be specific, we are going to deal with the following key questions: (1) Analysis of the peculiarity of solution (e.g., non-negativeness, existence and uniqueness and boundedness) of solution to system (2). (2) Study the emergence of Hopf bifurcation phenomenon and stability issue of system (2). (3) Construct both distinct controllers to adjust the domain of stability and the time that Hopf bifurcation of system (2) generates.
The main contributions of this study are introduced as follows: (i) On the basis of the previous publications, a new delay-independent bifurcation and stability criterion for system (2) is set up. (ii) Making use of distinct controllers, the domain of stability and the time that Hopf bifurcation of system (2) generates are controlled with effect. (iii) The influence of delay on commanding Hopf bifurcation and stabilizing the densities of the first species and the density of the second species of system (2) are offered. (iv) By constructing a suitable positive definite function, we obtain the sufficient condition ensuring the global stability of system (2).
The structure of this article is stated as follows. The peculiarity of the solution (e.g., boundedness, non-negativeness, existence and uniqueness) of system (2) is discussed in Section 2. Section 3 deals with the bifurcation phenomenon and stability of system (2). Section 4 explores the global stability of system (2). Section 5 focuses on the control problem of the bifurcation phenomenon for system (2) by formulating a reasonable hybrid delayed feedback controller involving parameter perturbation accompanying delay and state feedback. Section 6 handles the the control problem of bifurcation phenomenon for system (2) via formulating a reasonable extended hybrid delayed feedback controller including parameter perturbation accompanying delay and state feedback. Section 7 displays Matlab software (latest veresion 2023b) simulation outcomes to test the validity of the acquired key results. A laconic conclusion is drawn to complete this work in Section 8.

8. Conclusions
It is well known that the delayed dynamical model is a vital tool for describing the interaction of different biological populations in the natural world. During the past decades, a great deal of work on predator-prey models has been carried out and rich fruits on this topic have been reported. In this paper, we propose a new delayed Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis model. The existence and uniqueness, non-negativeness and boundedness of the solution of the delayed Lotka–Volterra commensal symbiosis system are discussed. The Hopf bifurcation issue is discussed. Sufficient conditions on the stability and bifurcation of this model are obtained. The critical delay value is acquired. In order to adjust the domain of stability and the time of appearance of the bifurcation phenomenon of this model, we have successfully designed two different hybrid delayed feedback controllers. Two critical delay values are acquired. In these two controllers, the role of delay is displayed. The exploration fruits have great theoretical value in controlling and balancing the densities of two species. By adjusting the delay value, we can delay or advance the time of cycle motion of the two species. In addition, the exploration ideas can be used to dominate the bifurcation phenomenon, stability and chaos in various fractional-order and integer-order dynamical systems in numerous fields. In 2020, Zhu et al. [11] investigated the partial survival, extinction and global attractivity of the positive equilibrium point of the model (1). In this work, we introduce a delay into model (1) and obtain model (2). We have dealt with the boundedness, existence and uniqueness of the solution, Hopf bifurcation and its control problem of the formulated model (2). The research method of this paper is different from that of Zhu et al. [11] and the gained results are entirely innovative. Based on this point, we think that our studies replenish the work of Zhu et al. [11] to a certain degree. From a biological point of view, we only consider the growth rates of the density of the first and the second species depending on the same feedback time. In the future, we will deal with the controlled models (48) and (50) involving two different delays.
