Parameter Estimation of the Lotka–Volterra Model with Fractional Order Based on the Modulation Function and Its Application

Abstract

The Lotka–Volterra model is widely applied in various fields, and parameter estimation is important in its application. In this study, the Lotka–Volterra model with universal applicability is established by introducing the fractional order. Modulation function is multiplied by both sides of the Lotka–Volterra model, and the model is converted into linear equations with parameters to be estimated by the fractional integration method. The parameters are obtained by solving the equations. The state of the system is estimated by shifted Chebyshev polynomial. Last, the implementation program of the model is compiled. The concrete implementation method of the improved model is proposed by an example in this study.
