Complex Dynamic Behaviour of Food Web Model with Generalized Fractional Operator

Abstract

We apply a new generalized Caputo operator to investigate the dynamical behaviour of the non-integer food web model (FWM). This dynamical model has three population species and is nonlinear. Three types of species are considered in this population: prey species, intermediate predators, and top predators, and the top predators are also divided into mature and immature predators. We calculated the uniqueness and existence of the solutions applying the fixed-point hypothesis. Our study examines the possibility of obtaining new dynamical phase portraits with the new generalized Caputo operator and demonstrates the portraits for several values of fractional order. A generalized predictor–corrector (P-C) approach is utilized in numerically solving this food web model. In the case of the nonlinear equations system, the effectiveness of the used scheme is highly evident and easy to implement. In addition, stability analysis was conducted for this numerical scheme.

Applications of the generalized gamma function to a fractional-order biological system

“…In fact, the investigations of the mathematical properties of fractional derivatives give rise to the so-called fractional calculus (FC) which has received increasing interest by engineers, scientists and economists, who become able to make more realistic descriptions and precise analyses for their related real-world problems using the aid of FC [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ]. The high importance of the FC in mathematical modeling is due to its highest adequacy for measuring the natural phenomena.…”

Symmetry in a Fractional-Order Multi-Scroll Chaotic System Using the Extended Caputo Operator

“…In the current century, many engineers, scientists, and economists have described and analyzed their related problems using the aid of fractional calculus (FC) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The primary rationale is that using FC provides a greater level of accuracy when measuring natural phenomena.…”

Dynamic Analysis of an Epidemic Model Considering Personal Alert on a Complex Network

“…Nevertheless, most studies assumed that the number of individuals is a constant, i.e., birth and death are not considered. But the spread of some epidemics can influence population size, such as the birth of individuals leading to the growth of the network and the death leading to the reduction of the network [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Li et al [21] proposed a SIRS epidemic model with births and deaths and found that the basic reproduction number was an important factor influencing the dynamics of the network-based SIRS model.…”
