Laplace transform method for logistic growth in a population and predator models with fractional order

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a new application of the Laplace transform method (LTM) using the series expansion of the dependent variable for solving fractional logistic growth models in a population as well as fractional prey-predator models. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. To illustrate the reliability of the method some examples are provided. The results reveal that the technique introduced here is very effective and convenient for solving fractional-order nonlinear differential equations.
