Cyclic competition of four species: mean field theory and stochastic evolution
Generalizing the cyclically competing three-species model (often referred to as the rock-paper-scissors game), we consider a simple system of population dynamics without spatial structures that involves four species. Unlike the previous model, the four form alliance pairs which resemble partnership in the game of Bridge. In a finite system with discrete stochastic dynamics, all but 4 of the abs...
متن کاملStochastic evolution of four species in cyclic competition
We study the stochastic evolution of four species in cyclic competition in a well mixed environment. In systems composed of a finite number N of particles these simple interaction rules result in a rich variety of extinction scenarios, from single species domination to coexistence between non-interacting species. Using exact results and numerical simulations we discuss the temporal evolution of...
متن کاملExtinction in four species cyclic competition
When four species compete stochastically in a cyclic way, the formation of two teams of mutually neutral partners is observed. In this paper we study through numerical simulations the extinction processes that can take place in this system both in the well mixed case as well as on different types of lattices. The different routes to extinction are revealed by the probability distribution of the...
متن کاملMean-field stochastic theory for species-rich assembled communities.
A dynamical model of an ecological community is analyzed within a "mean-field approximation" in which one of the species interacts with the combination of all of the other species in the community. Within this approximation the model may be formulated as a master equation describing a one-step stochastic process. The stationary distribution is obtained in closed form, and is shown to reduce to ...
متن کاملCyclic competition of four species: domains and interfaces
We study numerically domain growth and interface fluctuations in oneand two-dimensional lattice systems composed of four species that interact in a cyclic way. Particle mobility is implemented through exchanges of particles located on neighboring lattice sites. For the chain we find that the details of the domain growth strongly depend on the mobility, with a higher mobility yielding a larger e...
