Chaos in Low-Dimensional Lotka-Volterra Models of Competition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The occurrence of chaos in basic Lotka-Volterra models of four competing species is studied. A brute-force numerical search conditioned on the largest Lyapunov exponent indicates that chaos occurs in a narrow region of parameter space but is robust to perturbations. The dynamics of the attractor are studied using symbolic dynamics, and the question of self-organized critical behavior (scale-invariance) of the solution is considered.

An Analysis on The Lotka-Volterra Food Chain Model: Stability
The food chain refers to a natural system by which energy is transmitted from one organism to another. In fact, a food chain consists of producers, consumers and decomposition. Presence of complex food web increase the stability of the ecosystem. Classical food chain theory arises from Lotka-Volterra model. In the present paper, the dynamics behavior of three level food chain is studied. A syst...
متن کاملPermanency and Asymptotic Behavior of The Generalized Lotka-Volterra Food Chain System
In the present paper a generalized Lotka-Volterra food chain system has been studied and also its dynamic behavior such as locally asymptotic stability has been analyzed in case of existing interspecies competition. Furthermore, it has been shown that the said system is permanent (in the sense of boundedness and uniformly persistent). Finally, it is proved that the nontrivial equilibrium point...
متن کاملThe Stability of Some Systems of Harvested Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Equations
Some scientists are interesting to study in area of harvested ecological modelling. The harvested population dynamics is more realistic than other ecological models. In the present paper, some of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey models have been considered. In the said models, existing species are harvested by constant or variable growth rates. The behavior of their solutions has been analyzed ...
متن کاملA simple spatiotemporal chaotic Lotka- Volterra model
A mathematically simple example of a high-dimensional (many-species) Lotka-Volterra model that exhibits spatiotemporal chaos in one spatial dimension is described. The model consists of a closed ring of identical agents, each competing for fixed finite resources with two of its four nearest neighbors. The model is prototypical of more complicated models in its quasiperiodic route to chaos (incl...
متن کاملThree Logistic Models for the Two-Species Interactions: Symbiosis, Predator-Prey and Competition
If one isolated species is supposed to evolve following the logistic mapping, then we are tempted to think that the dynamics of two species can be expressed by a coupled system of two discrete logistic equations. As three basic relationships between two species are present in Nature, namely symbiosis, predator-prey and competition, three different models are obtained. Each model is a cubic two-...
