Abstract

 The predator-prey model is a pair of first-order nonlinear differential equations which is used to explain the dynamics of biological systems. These systems contain two species interact, one as a predator and the other as prey. This work proposes a meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method based upon the interpolating moving least squares (IMLS) approximation,  for numerical solution of the predator-prey systems. With this aim, the space derivative is discretized by MLPG technique in which the test and trial functions are chosen from the shape functions of IMLS approximation. In the next, a semi-implicit finite difference approach is utilized to discrete the time derivative. The main aim of this work is to bring forward a flexible numerical procedure  to solve predator-prey systems on the complicated geometries.
