Analysis of a fractional order eco‐epidemiological model with prey infection and type 2 functional response

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce fractional order into an ecoepidemiological model, where predator consumes disproportionately large number of infected preys following type 2 response function. We prove different mathematical results like existence, uniqueness, nonnegativity, and boundedness of the solutions of fractional order system. We also prove the local and global stability of different equilibrium points of the system. The results are illustrated with several examples.
