Bifurcation Based-Delay Feedback Control Strategy for a Fractional-Order Two-Prey One-Predator System

Abstract EN

The issue of bifurcation control for a novel fractional-order two-prey and one-predator system with time delay is dealt with in this paper.

Firstly, the characteristic equation is investigated by picking time delay as the bifurcation parameter, and some conditions for the appearance of Hopf bifurcation are obtained.

It is shown that time delay can give rise to periodic oscillations and each order has an important impact on the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation for the controlled system.

Then, it is illustrated that the control result is obviously influenced by the feedback gain.

It is also noted that the inception of the bifurcation can be postponed if the feedback gain decreases.

Finally, two simulation examples are carried out to verify the chief theoretical results.
