Dynamics of a Conformable Fractional Order Generalized Richards Growth Model on Star Network with N=20 Nodes
Abstract
In this study, we analyze dynamical behavior of the conformable fractional order Richards growth model. Before examining the analysis of the dynamical behavior of the fractional continuous time model, the model is reduced to the system of difference equations via utilizing piecewise constant functions. An algebraic condition that ensures the stability of the positive fixed point of the system is obtained. With the center manifold theory, the existence of a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation at the fixed point of the discrete-time system is proven and the direction of this bifurcation is determined. In addition, the discrete dynamical system is also studied on the star network with N=20 nodes. Analysis complex dynamics of Richards growth model into coupled dynamical network shows that the complex star network with N=20 nodes also exhibits Neimark-Sacker bifurcation about the fixed point concerning with parameter c. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the stability, bifurcations and dynamic transition of the coupled network.
