BIFURCATION ANALYSIS, CIRCUIT DESIGN AND SLIDING MODE CONTROL OF A NEW MULTISTABLE CHAOTIC POPULATION MODEL WITH ONE PREY AND TWO PREDATORS

Bifurcation analysis, circuit design and sliding mode control of a new multistable chaotic population model with one prey and two predators

In this work, we report a new chaotic population biology system with one prey and two predators.Our new chaotic population model is derived by introducing two nonlinear interaction terms between the prey and predator-2 to the Samardzija-Greller population biology system (1988).We show that the new chaotic population biology system has a greater val
