Abstract

In this chapter, a new Fractional-order (FO) predator-prey system with Allee Effect is proposed and its dynamical analysis is investigated. The two case studies of weak and strong Allee Effects are considered to bring out the consequence of such extra factors on the FO system’s dynamics. Not only it will be proven, via analytic and numerical results, that the system’s stability is governed by the type of the Allee Effect but also it will be shown that such extra factor is a destabilizing force. Finally, simulation results reveal that rich dynamic behaviors of the (FO) predator-prey model are exhibited and dependent on the order value of the FO system.
