Human knee joints move smoothly under high load conditions Chains due to articular cartilage and synovial fluid.Much attention is paid to the role of proteoglycans.It is suggested that a part of proteoglycan forms aggregate on the cartilage surface, making a polymer brush, which has an important role in lubrication.In order to examine the lubricati

This paper discusses a predator-prey model with prey refuge.We investigate the role of prey refuge on 4.21 the existence and stability of the positive equilibrium.The global asymptotic stability of positive interior equilibrium solution is established using suitable Lyapunov functional, which shows that the prey refuge has no influence on the perma
