A study for analysing predator–prey ecological system using Legendre polynomial

Abstract

This paper presents a mathematical model to examine the effects of the coexistence of predators on single prey. Based on Caputo operators, we present a newly developed system of differential equations for the predator–prey system using wavelet method. It is well known that a system of nonlinear singular models cannot operate smoothly since they are singular and nonlinear. Therefore, with the help of this numerical approach, we have converted the system into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations by extending it through operational matrix of Legendre wavelets. Using the wavelet collocation scheme, we have calculated these unknown coefficients. It has been demonstrated in tables and graphs that the developed approach is consistent and proficient. Further bifurcation diagrams, as well as phase portraits, have been used to study the proposed system numerically and to analyse its behaviour. In addition, a nonlinear functional analysis have used to establish uniformly boundedness for the proposed model. Also we have discussed residual error analysis and Lyapunov exponent. The applicability and efficacy of this methodology have been demonstrated through this nonlinear system. Additionally, a comparison with existing results highlights the advantages of our numerical approach. All calculations have been done using MATLAB.
