In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of an improved Leslie-Gower predator-prey model which is characterized by the reduction of the prey growth rate due to fear of the predator (i.e., antipredator behavior). The value of this study lies in two aspects: mathematically, (i) it provides the exist...
