## Abstract

In recent years, time-optimal control studies on additional food provided prey-predator systems have gained significant attention from researchers in the field of mathematical biology. In this study, we initially consider an additional food provided prey-predator model exhibiting Holling type-III functional response and the intra-specific competition among predators. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global positive solutions for the proposed model. We do the time optimal control studies with respect quality and quantity of additional food as control variables by transforming the independent variable in the control system. Making use of the Pontraygin maximum principle, we characterize the optimal quality of additional food and optimal quantity of additional food. We show that the findings of these time-optimal control studies on additional food provided prey-predator systems involving Holling type III functional response have the potential to be applied to a variety of problems in pest management. In the later half of this study, we consider an additional food provided prey-predator model exhibiting Holling type-IV functional response and study the above aspects for this system.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
