In this paper, we explore the local dynamics, chaos, and bifurcations of a discrete Rosenzweig-Macarthur prey-predator model. More specifically, we explore local dynamical characteristics at equilibrium solutions of the discrete model. The existence of bifurcations at equilibrium solutions is also studied, and that at semitrivial and trivial equilibrium solutions, the model does not undergo flip bifurcation, but at positive equilibrium solutions, it undergoes flip and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations when parameters go through certain curves. Fold bifurcation does not exist at positive equilibrium, and we have studied these bifurcations by the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. We also studied chaos by the feedback control method. The theoretical results are confirmed numerically., (© 2024 Author(s). Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.)
