Lotka-Volterra dynamics under periodic influence

چکیده
Lotka Volterra model and its modified forms have long become a major area of interest for periodic motions in nonlinear systems with competitive species. The model given by Volterra shows that its periodicity is dependent on initial condition. This characteristics allows us to calculate the effect of periodic seasonal changes on population densities of different species.

In recent years, non-autonomous delay differential equations have been used in the study of population dynamics, ecology and epidemic. Among those equations, a famous model for population is the Lotka-Volterra competition system. Due to the various seasonal effects present in real life situation, it is reasonable and practical to study the Lotka-Volterra competition system with periodic coeffic...
متن کاملExistence of multiple positive periodic solutions to n species nonautonomous Lotka - Volterra cooperative systems with harvesting terms
In this paper, the existence of 2 positive periodic solutions for n species non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra cooperative systems with harvesting terms is established by using Mawhin’s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and matrix inequality. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results. Keywords—Multiple positive periodic solutions; Nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra...
متن کاملChaotic Interactions of Self-replicating RNA
A general system of high-order differential equations describing complex dynamics of replicating biomolecules is given. Symmetry relations and coordinate transformations of general replication systems leading to topologically equivalent systems are derived. Three chaotic attractors observed in Lotka-Volterra equations of dimension n = 3 are shown to represent three cross-sections of one and the...
متن کاملA Remark on the Period of the Periodic Solution in the Lotka - Volterra System
The Lotka-Volterra equations have been at the root of almost every investigation into population dynamics for the last few decades. They predict the existence of population cycles in which the period is an important parameter. It is well known that (1.1) has a one-parameter family of periodic solutions with the equilibrium (y/S, a//3) as center point. Volterra 131 computed that for small distur...
متن کاملA Periodic Lotka-volterra System
In this paper periodic time-dependent Lotka-Volterra systems are considered. It is shown that such a system has positive periodic solutions. It is done without constructive conditions over the period and the parameters. 1. The Periodic Lotka-Volterra System. Consider the Predator-Prey model (see Volterra [1]) N ′ 1 = (ε1 − γ1N2)N1 N ′ 2 = (−ε2 + γ2N1)N2. (1) The functions N1 and N2 measure the ...
