2 Description of Algorithms

-is section shows briefly the steps of applying the function-expansion method for finding analytical solutions We chosetwo methods that are simple and reliable using the as-ymptotic software (MATHEMATICA) which are the(GprimeG)-expansion method and the generalized auxiliaryequation method Let us consider the nonlinear evaluationequation of the form

P1 U V Ut Vt Ux Vx Uxx Vxx ( 1113857 0

P2 U V Ut Vt Ux Vx Uxx Vxx ( 1113857 0(3)

where P1 and P2 are polynomials in U V and their de-rivatives and U(x t) and V(x t) are two unknown func-tions -e methods that are considered in this article havethe common following steps

(i) Transforming the function U(x t) and V(x t) tou1(ξ) and v1(ξ) respectively by applying thetransformation ξ x minus ct where c is the wave speed

-us the system of equations (3) is reduced to theordinary differential equation (ODE)

P2 u1 v1 minus cu1ξ minus cv1ξ u1ξ v1ξ u1ξξ v1ξξ 1113874 1113875 0

(4)

(5)

where ngt 0 and mgt 0 are the degrees of the poly-nomial of u1 and v1 respectively We obtain thevalue of n and m by the homogeneous balancetheory [13ndash15]

(iii) Substituting the polynomials (5) into equation (4) toobtain polynomials of the function F(ξ)

(iv) Equating the confections of (F(ξ))i i 1 2 n

(or m) to zero to obtain a system in terms of var-iables αi βi and c

(v) Solving the system to find the value of αi βi and c(vi) Substituting the obtained variables αi βi and the

value of the function F(ξ) into equation (5) toconstruct the solutions of U and V

3 Analytical Solutions of the DiffusivePredator-Prey System

In this section the analytical solutions of model (1) will befound by the methods that are described in the previoussection First introducing the traveling wave solution ξ

X minus cT reduces model (1) as

minus cu1prime u1 minus u21 minus u1v1 minus u1v

21 (13a)

minus cv1prime vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + k1u1v1 + k1u1v

21 (13b)

where U(X T) u1(ξ) V(X T) v1(ξ) and c is the wavespeed -en the equations (13a) and (13b) are combined asfollows

minus c u1prime + v1prime( 1113857 vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + u1 minus u

21

minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v1 minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v21

(14)

Following the steps of the algorithm in Section 2 thesolutions of u1 and v1 can be expressed as follows

u1(ξ) α1F(ξ)

v1(ξ) β1F(ξ)(15)

Substituting equation (15) into equation (14) to obtain

c α1 + β1( 1113857Fprime(x) + β1FPrime(x) + α1 minus β1k1k2( 1113857F(x)

(16)

31 7e (GprimeG)-Expansion Method In order to utilize the(GprimeG)-expansion method the definition of Fprime equation (6)is applied to equation (16) and then the following algebraicsystem is obtained

α1(1 minus cλ) + β1 minus cλ + λ2 minus k1k2 + 2μ1113872 1113873 0

minus α21 minus α1 c minus β1 k1 minus 1( 1113857( 1113857 minus β1 c minus 3λ + β1k1( 1113857 0

β21 and h0 k1 β1 and k2 are arbitrary constants Hence theappropriate solution of the auxiliary equation is in terms ofthe hyperbolic function Assuming h0 0 yields the solutionof the problem in the following expression

-e computed solution by the generalized auxiliaryequation method exists if k1 ne 1 and is a soliton solution interms of k1 k2 and β1 (see Figure 3)

4 Discussion

41 Biological Implication -e solution is obtained by the(GprimeG)-expansion method for λgt 2 μradic and with the con-dition a4 gt (a2

2a1) -us this solution is obtained when thedecay rate of the prey population is greater due to the in-teraction between two predators and one prey (a4) than thedecay rate of the prey population due to the competition onthe food supply over the growth rate of the prey (a2

2a1) -esolution in Figure 2 shows the predator population increasesbecause of plentiful prey and sexual interaction while the

prey population decline because of its high consumptionduring the mating period of the predator in a close envi-ronmental area Ultimately the predator population willbecome dominant in the area -is situation is expectedwhen the predators overgraze in themating period where theprey is plentiful

Figure 3 presents the solution by applying the gener-alized auxiliary equation method for k1 ne 1 -is solutiondepicts that in certain environmental area the prey pop-ulation u will grow due to the absence of the predator v Inthe mating period the predators graze in where the preydensity (u) is large and as a result u will decay However theobtained solutions by both considered methods remainconstant away from places of grazing predator during thepredator-mating period and over time

42 Connection with the Previous Studies -e diffusivepredator-prey model has been solved numerically and an-alytically in some papers -e analytical solutions of themodel when both species having the same diffusivities andthe prey density being of the Allee type are computed by the(GprimeG)-expansion method [16] and the results are eithersingle structure or periodic structure Also it was computedby the improved Riccati equation mapping method [17] and

the solutions are presented in three structures single pe-riodic and kink -e same model was solved analytically byutilizing the exp-expansion method [18] and the obtainedsolutions were kink solutions singular kink solutions darksoliton solutions bright soliton solutions soliton solutionssingular soliton solutions multiple soliton-like solutionsand triangular periodic solutions but all these solutions werenot discussed in terms of the actual situation

-e numerical solution of a system of nonlinear Volterradifferential equations governing on the problem of prey andpredator was solved numerically by the Adomian de-composition method [19] RungendashKuttandashFehlberg methodand Laplace Adomian decomposition method [20] and theresults state that the number of predator increases as thenumber of prey decreases

-e present paper studied the predator-prey model withadding the term uv2 and in absence of diffusion among preysD1 0 We obtained that predatorrsquos population increases asthe preyrsquos population decreases in a certain interval and thesolutions are constant out of this interval Comparing theresults obtained in the present study with different modi-fications of the diffusive predator-prey model it can beconcluded that obtained results are new and different

3 Analytical Solutions of the DiffusivePredator-Prey System

In this section the analytical solutions of model (1) will befound by the methods that are described in the previoussection First introducing the traveling wave solution ξ

X minus cT reduces model (1) as

minus cu1prime u1 minus u21 minus u1v1 minus u1v

21 (13a)

minus cv1prime vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + k1u1v1 + k1u1v

21 (13b)

where U(X T) u1(ξ) V(X T) v1(ξ) and c is the wavespeed -en the equations (13a) and (13b) are combined asfollows

minus c u1prime + v1prime( 1113857 vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + u1 minus u

21

minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v1 minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v21

(14)

Following the steps of the algorithm in Section 2 thesolutions of u1 and v1 can be expressed as follows

u1(ξ) α1F(ξ)

v1(ξ) β1F(ξ)(15)

Substituting equation (15) into equation (14) to obtain

c α1 + β1( 1113857Fprime(x) + β1FPrime(x) + α1 minus β1k1k2( 1113857F(x)

(16)

31 7e (GprimeG)-Expansion Method In order to utilize the(GprimeG)-expansion method the definition of Fprime equation (6)is applied to equation (16) and then the following algebraicsystem is obtained

α1(1 minus cλ) + β1 minus cλ + λ2 minus k1k2 + 2μ1113872 1113873 0

-e computed solution by the generalized auxiliaryequation method exists if k1 ne 1 and is a soliton solution interms of k1 k2 and β1 (see Figure 3)

4 Discussion

41 Biological Implication -e solution is obtained by the(GprimeG)-expansion method for λgt 2 μradic and with the con-dition a4 gt (a2

2a1) -us this solution is obtained when thedecay rate of the prey population is greater due to the in-teraction between two predators and one prey (a4) than thedecay rate of the prey population due to the competition onthe food supply over the growth rate of the prey (a2

2a1) -esolution in Figure 2 shows the predator population increasesbecause of plentiful prey and sexual interaction while the

prey population decline because of its high consumptionduring the mating period of the predator in a close envi-ronmental area Ultimately the predator population willbecome dominant in the area -is situation is expectedwhen the predators overgraze in themating period where theprey is plentiful

Figure 3 presents the solution by applying the gener-alized auxiliary equation method for k1 ne 1 -is solutiondepicts that in certain environmental area the prey pop-ulation u will grow due to the absence of the predator v Inthe mating period the predators graze in where the preydensity (u) is large and as a result u will decay However theobtained solutions by both considered methods remainconstant away from places of grazing predator during thepredator-mating period and over time

42 Connection with the Previous Studies -e diffusivepredator-prey model has been solved numerically and an-alytically in some papers -e analytical solutions of themodel when both species having the same diffusivities andthe prey density being of the Allee type are computed by the(GprimeG)-expansion method [16] and the results are eithersingle structure or periodic structure Also it was computedby the improved Riccati equation mapping method [17] and

the solutions are presented in three structures single pe-riodic and kink -e same model was solved analytically byutilizing the exp-expansion method [18] and the obtainedsolutions were kink solutions singular kink solutions darksoliton solutions bright soliton solutions soliton solutionssingular soliton solutions multiple soliton-like solutionsand triangular periodic solutions but all these solutions werenot discussed in terms of the actual situation

-e numerical solution of a system of nonlinear Volterradifferential equations governing on the problem of prey andpredator was solved numerically by the Adomian de-composition method [19] RungendashKuttandashFehlberg methodand Laplace Adomian decomposition method [20] and theresults state that the number of predator increases as thenumber of prey decreases

-e present paper studied the predator-prey model withadding the term uv2 and in absence of diffusion among preysD1 0 We obtained that predatorrsquos population increases asthe preyrsquos population decreases in a certain interval and thesolutions are constant out of this interval Comparing theresults obtained in the present study with different modi-fications of the diffusive predator-prey model it can beconcluded that obtained results are new and different

5 Conclusion

In this paper both the (GprimeG)-expansion method and thegeneralized auxiliary equation method have been used tofind new stable analytical solutions of the modified non-linear diffusive predator-prey model by considering the termuv2 To the best of the researchersrsquo knowledge this modifiedmodel has not been solved analytically or numerically inprevious research -e result showed the effect of the termuv2 in the diffusive predator-prey dynamic system whichleads to a decline in the prey population and an increase inthe predator population in the mating period at predatorrsquosdensity points However the idea of this modified systemcan be used in epidemiological researches to constructseveral models For example if we consider u as the infectedhuman body by any disease in many cases we use two typesof medicine which is considered as v2 -us the interactionterm uv2 refers to combatting the epidemic or the disease

3 Analytical Solutions of the DiffusivePredator-Prey System

In this section the analytical solutions of model (1) will befound by the methods that are described in the previoussection First introducing the traveling wave solution ξ

X minus cT reduces model (1) as

minus cu1prime u1 minus u21 minus u1v1 minus u1v

21 (13a)

minus cv1prime vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + k1u1v1 + k1u1v

21 (13b)

where U(X T) u1(ξ) V(X T) v1(ξ) and c is the wavespeed -en the equations (13a) and (13b) are combined asfollows

minus c u1prime + v1prime( 1113857 vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + u1 minus u

21

minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v1 minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v21

(14)

Following the steps of the algorithm in Section 2 thesolutions of u1 and v1 can be expressed as follows

u1(ξ) α1F(ξ)

v1(ξ) β1F(ξ)(15)

Substituting equation (15) into equation (14) to obtain

c α1 + β1( 1113857Fprime(x) + β1FPrime(x) + α1 minus β1k1k2( 1113857F(x)

(16)

31 7e (GprimeG)-Expansion Method In order to utilize the(GprimeG)-expansion method the definition of Fprime equation (6)is applied to equation (16) and then the following algebraicsystem is obtained

α1(1 minus cλ) + β1 minus cλ + λ2 minus k1k2 + 2μ1113872 1113873 0

4 Discussion

41 Biological Implication -e solution is obtained by the(GprimeG)-expansion method for λgt 2 μradic and with the con-dition a4 gt (a2

2a1) -us this solution is obtained when thedecay rate of the prey population is greater due to the in-teraction between two predators and one prey (a4) than thedecay rate of the prey population due to the competition onthe food supply over the growth rate of the prey (a2

3 Analytical Solutions of the DiffusivePredator-Prey System

In this section the analytical solutions of model (1) will befound by the methods that are described in the previoussection First introducing the traveling wave solution ξ

X minus cT reduces model (1) as

minus cu1prime u1 minus u21 minus u1v1 minus u1v

21 (13a)

minus cv1prime vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + k1u1v1 + k1u1v

21 (13b)

where U(X T) u1(ξ) V(X T) v1(ξ) and c is the wavespeed -en the equations (13a) and (13b) are combined asfollows

minus c u1prime + v1prime( 1113857 vPrime1 minus k1k2v1 minus k1v21 + u1 minus u

21

minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v1 minus 1 minus k1( 1113857u1v21

(14)

Following the steps of the algorithm in Section 2 thesolutions of u1 and v1 can be expressed as follows

u1(ξ) α1F(ξ)

v1(ξ) β1F(ξ)(15)

Substituting equation (15) into equation (14) to obtain

c α1 + β1( 1113857Fprime(x) + β1FPrime(x) + α1 minus β1k1k2( 1113857F(x)

(16)

31 7e (GprimeG)-Expansion Method In order to utilize the(GprimeG)-expansion method the definition of Fprime equation (6)is applied to equation (16) and then the following algebraicsystem is obtained

α1(1 minus cλ) + β1 minus cλ + λ2 minus k1k2 + 2μ1113872 1113873 0

β21 and h0 k1 β1 and k2 are arbitrary constants Hence theappropriate solution of the auxiliary equation is in terms ofthe hyperbolic function Assuming h0 0 yields the solutionof the problem in the following expression

-e computed solution by the generalized auxiliaryequation method exists if k1 ne 1 and is a soliton solution interms of k1 k2 and β1 (see Figure 3)

4 Discussion

41 Biological Implication -e solution is obtained by the(GprimeG)-expansion method for λgt 2 μradic and with the con-dition a4 gt (a2

2a1) -us this solution is obtained when thedecay rate of the prey population is greater due to the in-teraction between two predators and one prey (a4) than thedecay rate of the prey population due to the competition onthe food supply over the growth rate of the prey (a2

2a1) -esolution in Figure 2 shows the predator population increasesbecause of plentiful prey and sexual interaction while the

prey population decline because of its high consumptionduring the mating period of the predator in a close envi-ronmental area Ultimately the predator population willbecome dominant in the area -is situation is expectedwhen the predators overgraze in themating period where theprey is plentiful

Figure 3 presents the solution by applying the gener-alized auxiliary equation method for k1 ne 1 -is solutiondepicts that in certain environmental area the prey pop-ulation u will grow due to the absence of the predator v Inthe mating period the predators graze in where the preydensity (u) is large and as a result u will decay However theobtained solutions by both considered methods remainconstant away from places of grazing predator during thepredator-mating period and over time

42 Connection with the Previous Studies -e diffusivepredator-prey model has been solved numerically and an-alytically in some papers -e analytical solutions of themodel when both species having the same diffusivities andthe prey density being of the Allee type are computed by the(GprimeG)-expansion method [16] and the results are eithersingle structure or periodic structure Also it was computedby the improved Riccati equation mapping method [17] and

β21 and h0 k1 β1 and k2 are arbitrary constants Hence theappropriate solution of the auxiliary equation is in terms ofthe hyperbolic function Assuming h0 0 yields the solutionof the problem in the following expression

-e computed solution by the generalized auxiliaryequation method exists if k1 ne 1 and is a soliton solution interms of k1 k2 and β1 (see Figure 3)

4 Discussion

41 Biological Implication -e solution is obtained by the(GprimeG)-expansion method for λgt 2 μradic and with the con-dition a4 gt (a2

2a1) -us this solution is obtained when thedecay rate of the prey population is greater due to the in-teraction between two predators and one prey (a4) than thedecay rate of the prey population due to the competition onthe food supply over the growth rate of the prey (a2

2a1) -esolution in Figure 2 shows the predator population increasesbecause of plentiful prey and sexual interaction while the

prey population decline because of its high consumptionduring the mating period of the predator in a close envi-ronmental area Ultimately the predator population willbecome dominant in the area -is situation is expectedwhen the predators overgraze in themating period where theprey is plentiful

Figure 3 presents the solution by applying the gener-alized auxiliary equation method for k1 ne 1 -is solutiondepicts that in certain environmental area the prey pop-ulation u will grow due to the absence of the predator v Inthe mating period the predators graze in where the preydensity (u) is large and as a result u will decay However theobtained solutions by both considered methods remainconstant away from places of grazing predator during thepredator-mating period and over time

42 Connection with the Previous Studies -e diffusivepredator-prey model has been solved numerically and an-alytically in some papers -e analytical solutions of themodel when both species having the same diffusivities andthe prey density being of the Allee type are computed by the(GprimeG)-expansion method [16] and the results are eithersingle structure or periodic structure Also it was computedby the improved Riccati equation mapping method [17] and

the solutions are presented in three structures single pe-riodic and kink -e same model was solved analytically byutilizing the exp-expansion method [18] and the obtainedsolutions were kink solutions singular kink solutions darksoliton solutions bright soliton solutions soliton solutionssingular soliton solutions multiple soliton-like solutionsand triangular periodic solutions but all these solutions werenot discussed in terms of the actual situation

-e numerical solution of a system of nonlinear Volterradifferential equations governing on the problem of prey andpredator was solved numerically by the Adomian de-composition method [19] RungendashKuttandashFehlberg methodand Laplace Adomian decomposition method [20] and theresults state that the number of predator increases as thenumber of prey decreases

-e present paper studied the predator-prey model withadding the term uv2 and in absence of diffusion among preysD1 0 We obtained that predatorrsquos population increases asthe preyrsquos population decreases in a certain interval and thesolutions are constant out of this interval Comparing theresults obtained in the present study with different modi-fications of the diffusive predator-prey model it can beconcluded that obtained results are new and different

5 Conclusion

In this paper both the (GprimeG)-expansion method and thegeneralized auxiliary equation method have been used tofind new stable analytical solutions of the modified non-linear diffusive predator-prey model by considering the termuv2 To the best of the researchersrsquo knowledge this modifiedmodel has not been solved analytically or numerically inprevious research -e result showed the effect of the termuv2 in the diffusive predator-prey dynamic system whichleads to a decline in the prey population and an increase inthe predator population in the mating period at predatorrsquosdensity points However the idea of this modified systemcan be used in epidemiological researches to constructseveral models For example if we consider u as the infectedhuman body by any disease in many cases we use two typesof medicine which is considered as v2 -us the interactionterm uv2 refers to combatting the epidemic or the disease
