Abstract: In this paper, tumor-immune system interaction has been considered by two fractional order models. The first and the second model consist of system of fractional order differential equations with Caputo and conformable fractional derivative respectively. First of all, the stability of the equilibrium points of the first model is studied. Then, a discretization process is applied to obtain a discrete version of the second model where conformable fractional derivative is taken into account. In discrete model, we analyze the stability of the equilibrium points and prove the existence of Neimark-Sacker bifurcation depending on the parameter σ. Moreover, the dynamical behaviours of the models are compared with each other and we observe that the discrete version of conformable fractional order model exhibits chaotic behavior. Finally, numerical simulations are also presented to illustrate the analytical results.
