Predator Population Dynamics Involving Exponential Integral Function When Prey Follows Gompertz Model

The current study investigates the predator-prey problem with assumptions that interaction of predation has a little or no effect on prey population growth and the prey’s grow rate is time dependent. The prey is assumed to follow the Gompertz growth model and the respective predator growth function is constructed by solving ordinary differential equations. The results show that the predator population model is found to be a function of the well known exponential integral function. The solution is also given in Taylor’s series. Simulation study shows that the predator population size eventually converges either to a finite positive limit or zero or diverges to positive infinity. Under certain conditions, the predator population converges to the asymptotic limit of the prey model. More results are included in the paper.

On Nonlinear Conformable Fractional Order Dynamical System via Differential Transform Method

This article studies a nonlinear fractional order Lotka-Volterra prey-predator type dynamical system.For the proposed study,we consider the model under the conformable fractional order derivative(CFOD).We investigate the mentioned dynamical system for the existence and uniqueness of at least one solution.Indeed,Schauder and Banach fixed point theorems are utilized to prove our claim.Further,an algorithm for the approximate analytical solution to the proposed problem has been established.In this regard,the conformable fractional differential transform(CFDT)technique is used to compute the required results in the form of a series.Using Matlab-16,we simulate the series solution to illustrate our results graphically.Finally,a comparison of our solution to that obtained for the Caputo fractional order derivative via the perturbation method is given.

Impact of predation in the spread of an infectious disease with time fractional derivative and social behavior

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of predation on the spread of a disease developed in the prey population where we assume that the prey has a social behavior.The memory of the prey and the predator measured by the time fractional derivative plays a crucial role in modeling the dynamical response in a predator–prey interaction.This memory can be modeled to articulate the involvement of interacting species by the presence of the time fractional derivative in the considered models.For the purpose of studying the complex dynamics generated by the presence of infection and the time-fractional-derivative we split our study into two cases. The first one is devotedto study the effect of a non-selective hunting on the spread of the disease, where the localstability of the equilibria is investigated. Further the backward bifurcation is obtainedconcerning basic reproduction rate of the infection. The second case is for explaining theimpact of selecting the weakest infected prey on the edge of the herd by a predator onthe prevalence of the infection, where the local behavior is scrutinized. Moreover, for thegraphical representation part, a numerical simulation scheme has been achieved usingthe Caputo fractional derivative operator.
