A numerical study of fractional order population dynamics model

Abstract

In this paper, the population dynamics model including the predator-prey problem and the logistic equation are generalized by using fractional operator in term of Caputo-Fabrizio derivative (CF-derivative). The models under study include of fractional Lotka-Volterra model (FLVM), fractional predator-prey model (FPPM) and fractional logistic model of population growth (FLM-PG) with variable coefficients. After that a numerical scheme is presented to obtain numerical solutions of these fractional models. These solutions are made using three-step Adams-Bashforth scheme. To show the efficiency and the accuracy of the present scheme, a few examples are evaluated. The numerical simulations of the results are depicted the accuracy of the present scheme.
