Three-Species Lotka-Volterra Model with Respect to Caputo and Caputo-Fabrizio Fractional Operators

Abstract

In this paper, we apply the concept of fractional calculus to study three-dimensional Lotka-Volterra differential equations. We incorporate the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative into this model and investigate the existence of a solution. We discuss the uniqueness of the solution and determine under what conditions the model offers a unique solution. We prove the stability of the nonlinear model and analyse the properties, considering the non-singular kernel of the Caputo-Fabrizio operator. We compare the stability conditions of this system with respect to the Caputo-Fabrizio operator and the Caputo fractional derivative. In addition, we derive a new numerical method based on the Adams-Bashforth scheme. We show that the type of differential operators and the value of orders significantly influence the stability of the Lotka-Volterra system and numerical results demonstrate that different fractional operator derivatives of the nonlinear population model lead to different dynamical behaviors.

Quantifying the impact of ecological memory on the dynamics of interacting communities

“…This mathematical tool provides a principled framework for incorporating memory effects into ODE systems (see e.g. [32,33,39,40]), thus allowing a systematic analysis and quantification of memory effects in commonly used dynamical models of ecological communities. The mutual interaction model describes the dynamics of species abundances X i , which depends on the growth rates b i , death rates k i , and inhibition functions f i , where K ij and n denote interaction constants and Hill coefficients, respectively [18].…”

Certain Matrix Riemann–Liouville Fractional Integrals Associated with Functions Involving Generalized Bessel Matrix Polynomials

“…A remarkably large number of integral and fractional integral transforms have taken on fundamental and important roles in solving certain problems arising from diverse research areas such as mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, physics, and engineering (see, e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]). In particular, fractional-order models in various applied research fields, which can be achieved from fractional order differential and integral operators, have been recognized to be more realistic and informative than their corresponding integer-order counterparts (see, e.g., financial economics [21], mathematical biology [7], ecology [22], bioengineering [23], chaos and fractional dynamics [24][25][26], rheology [27], control theory [28], evolutionary dynamics [29], biology [30], and so on).…”

Stability Analysis of Fractional Order Memristor Synapse-coupled Hopfield Neural Network with Ring Structure

“…Fractional calculus (fc) is a generalised version of integer calculus and a specific case of convolution integral. Unlike ordinary calculus, definitions in fc are not unique, and we have various operators under different weight functions, giving us a wide range of opportunity to study complex systems incorporating memory properties [6,7,8,9,10]. However, some basic theorems and algebra lemmas such as chain rule and stability criteria holding for integer calculus is no longer valid when it comes to fc, so careful attention is required when we model complex systems with fc.…”
