Highly Accurate Numerical Technique for Population Models via Rational Chebyshev Collocation Method

Abstract

The present work introduces the application of rational Chebyshev collocation technique for approximating bio-mathematical problems of continuous population models for single and interacting species (C.P.M.). We study systematically the logistic growth model in a population, prey-predator model: Lotka-Volterra system (L.V.M.), the simple two-species Lotka-Volterra competition model (L.V.C.M.) and the prey-predator model with limit cycle periodic behavior (P.P.M.). For testing the accuracy, the numerical results for our method and others existing methods as well as the exact solution are compared. The obtained numerical results indicate the ability, the reliability and the accuracy of the present method.
