Computational study of noninteger order system of predation

In this paper, we analyze the stability of the equilibrium point and Hopf bifurcation point in the three-component time-fractional differential equation, which describes the predator-prey interaction between different species. In the dynamics, the classical first-order derivative in time is modelled by either the Caputo or the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative of order alpha, 0 < alpha < 1. We utilized a fractional version of the Adams-Bashforth formula to discretize these fractional derivatives in time. The results of the linear stability analysis presented are confirmed by computer simulation results. Published under license by AlP Publishing.
