Abstract

In this work, we develop and analyze an approximation technique for the system of time-fractional nonlinear differential equations arising in population dynamics. The fractional of order $ \sigma\in(0,1) $ is taken in the Caputo sense. The proposed technique uses L1 discretization on the uniform mesh to approximate the differential operator. The fractional model is transformed into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The generalized Newton-Raphson method is employed to solve the corresponding nonlinear system. A rigorous error estimation is presented. It is shown that the proposed scheme achieved $ (2-\sigma) $ order of accuracy. Lastly, numerical experiment is conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique.
