1. INTRODUCTION
Predator-prey interactions are an important feature of ecological communities, and many researchers have used mathematics to study the dynamic interactions between predators and prey. Studying the factors that affect the dynamics of predator-prey interactions through mathematical models has become an important area of research in ecology and theoretical biology.
Xiaoying et al. (2016) considered a predator–prey model with incorporating effect of fear on prey reproduction. In their paper, they consider two prey predator models. The first one incorporates the bilinear functional response while the second one incorporates Holling type II functional response, they observed that fear has no impact on the stability of first model, but for the second one, they showed that the fear can make the system become stable. Based on their model, Pal et al. (2019) discussed the stability and some bifurcation types of a prey predator model with effect of fear and harvesting. Huisen et al. (2019) showed that fear effect can stabilize a predator–prey model with prey refuge. Pingping et al. (2021) showed that fear can change the chaotic state of a food chain model to a stable state. Yipping et al. (2022) considered and studied the impact reduction of prey growth rate due to the anti-predator behavior on a predator-prey model when an epidemic disease is spread among the prey population. For more results about the fear effect, see (Jimil et al.,2023; Xiaoqin et al., 2020; Menxin et al., 2022; Soumitr et al.,2023; Yaseen et al.,2024).
The period of the time between the prey predation and predator response to the predation is called ecological time lag. Hague (2011) investigated effect of delay in a LotkaVolterra type predator-prey model with a transmissible disease in the predator species. Jliu (2021) studied the dynamics of a predator-prey model with the effect of both fear and time Delay. Dehingia (2022) investigated a tumor-macrophages interaction model with a discrete-time delay in the growth of pro-tumor M2 macrophages. For more results on time delay, see (Naji et al. 2020; Lavanya et al., 2022; Rihan et al., 2020; Dehingia et al., 2023; Das,2024; Dehingia et al., 2024).
The concept of fitness is central to the study of Allee effects. In particular, a demographic Allee effect refers to a positive correlation between the size or density of a population and the average fitness of the individuals in it. In other words, the greater the size or density of the population, the greater the average fitness. Alternatively, the lower the size or density of the population, the lower the average fitness (Alan, 2015).
Soura (2018) studied an ecological model with multiple Allee effects induced by fear factors. Yining et al. (1996) proposed a delay diffusive predator–prey model with a strong Allee effect in the prey and a fear effect on predator, they showed that the parameters of fear species. Alan (2015) considered the following prey predator modeling with Beddington-DeAngelis:

The aim of this paper is to discover the impact of the delay time between the prey predation and predator response to the predation and the predator fear on prey reproduction on the dynamic of trajectories of system (1). Therefore, by the aforementioned works, we modified system (1) by incorporating it with the effect of both fear and time lag. The modified system (1) can be written as follows:

Writing this paper arranged as follow: in the next section, some property of the solution of system (2) are proved. Locally as well as globally, asymptotically stability conditions as well as of all feasible equilibrium points are determined, in section three. In section four, Hopf- bifurcations, near all steady state points, are discussed and the critical value for time delay, where the model undergoes Hopf -bifurcation near coexistence equilibrium points is founded. In section five, the model is solved numerically using modified Euler method. Finally, in section six, a brief conclusion on the whole work is given.

2. SOME PROPERTIES OF THE SOLUTIONS OF SYSTEM (2)
The
function in the right-hand side system (2) is continuous and has partial
derivatives on the space. Therefore, system (2) satisfies
the Lipschitzian condition. Therefore, it has a unique solution. Further, the
time derivative of

and
the time derivative of

zero when
. Therefore, if the
solution of system (2) initiates at a non-negative point, then the components
and
of the solution points of
system (2) cannot cross
and
of the solution points. Hence components

From system (2), it gets

5. NUMERICAL COMPUTATION
In this section, some numerical simulations were conducted by using the method of modification Euler rule, with the help of MATLAB Program. The aim of numerical simulation is to confirm the analytical finding observed in the previous sections and discover the impact of fear, Allee effect, and time delay on the dynamics of components of system (2). First, lets choose the parameter values as follows:
Fig.1
shows that trajectory of system (2) approaches coexistence free steady state
point, and since the parameter values given by (18), they satisfy the global
stability condition in Theorem3. So Fig.1 confirms analytical result regarding
to stability condition of.
Figure 1: the phase portrait show that trajectory of system 2 approaches coexistence steady state point,
when and other parameter values are as given in (18).
To show the impact of time lag, fear and Allee effect, and
time lag on the dynamics of system 2. Lets solve system 2
with varying, and fixed others as given in (18).
See Fig.2, Fig.2and Fig.3.
For the parameter
values in (18), the bifurcation value of time delay in Theorem, is , therefore, we solve
system (2) when the time delay varying from7 to 9 and fixed other parameter
values given in (18), the value of
in range
, see Fig.2.
In Fg.2, it has been shown that, dynamics of the system may induce a transition from the stability situation to the state where the populations oscillate periodically when the time delay value increases.

and other parameters are fixed as in (18).

of bifurcation diagram for system (2), when varies from 0 to10
and other parameters are fixed as in (18).
In
Fig. 3, it has been discovered that, when increases,
the stability of coexistence steady limit value of both prey and predator
decreases, which means fear directly affects prey dynamics as well as
indirectly effects predator dynamics.

and other parameters are fixed as in (18).
In Fig.4, it has
been observed that, when increases, the limit value of prey density
increases too while the limit value of predator density decreases.
In general, Fig.1 confirms the analytical results regarding to stability for the coexistence steady state, Fig.2 discovers that the time delay may induce a transition of the dynamics of system from the a stability situation to the state where the populations oscillate periodically or vice versa. Fear affects negatively on both prey and predator species, Fig.3 shows that the fear affects negatively on both prey and predator species and Fig.4 demonstrates that Allee effect for predator reproduction has positive impact on the prey density while it has negative impact on the predators.
CONCLUSION
In
this paper, a predator- prey model has been proposed. For derivation purposes
of the proposed model, it has been taken into account the time lag
corresponding to the gestation period and the effect that the fear of predators
has on prey and Allee
effect for predator reproduction. Firstly, it is proved that
the model solution is bounded and the prey species persist
continuously under the condition . It is explored
that the possible biological feasible steady states of system (2) are the total
extinction steady
state, the predator-free steady state, and coexistence
steady state. It is proved that the total extinction steady
state
is LAS and GAS if and only if,
and the
Predator-free steady state is LAS if and only if
the Local stability of both the
total extinction steady
and the Predator-free steady state are independent of fear
levels. Alle effect and time lags on LAS for but big value of fear may
destabilize Predator-free steady state for
dome initial values of species because the Predator-free steady
state
is GAS if,
and
. According to coexistence
steady state, the analytical and numerical result show the
time delay may induce a transition of the dynamics of system from
the a stability situation to the state where the populations oscillate
periodically or vice versa, fear affect negatively on both prey and
predator species and Allee effect for
predator reproduction has positive impact on the prey
density, while it has negative impact on the predators.
