“…Scholars discovered that physical phenomena in nature can be depicted more accurately by fractional-order models in comparison with classical integer-order ones [ 8 ]. Recently, quite a few researchers introduced fractional calculus into the predator-prey model and constructed fractional predator-prey models, for example, design and control of various ecological models [ 9 – 11 ], secure communication [ 12 , 13 ], system control [ 14 , 15 ], and so on. Furthermore, modelling and control based on the theory of the fractional calculus of complex systems can greatly enhance the capability of discrimination, design, and control for dynamic models since fractional calculus possesses infinite memory and more degrees of freedom [ 16 ].…”
