Carrying Simplices in Discrete Competitive Systems and Age-structured Semelparous Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
For discrete competitive dynamical systems, amenable general conditions are presented to guarantee the existence of the carrying simplex and then these results are applied to age-structured semelparous population models, as well as to an annual plant competition model.

Geometry of carrying simplices of 3-species competitive Lotka-Volterra systems
We investigate the existence, uniqueness and Gaussian curvature of the invariant carrying simplices of 3 species autonomous totally competitive Lotka-Volterra systems. Explicit examples are given where the carrying simplex is convex or concave, but also where the curvature is not single-signed. Our method monitors the curvature of an evolving surface that converges uniformly to the carrying sim...
متن کاملAge-Structured Lotka-Volterra Equations for Multiple Semelparous Populations
This paper derives a Lotka–Volterra equation with a certain symmetry from a coupled nonlinear Leslie matrix model for interacting semelparous species. The global analysis focuses on the special case where the system is composed of two species, one species having two age-classes and the other species having a single age-class. This analysis almost completely describes its global dynamics and pro...
متن کاملStability in a population model without random deaths by the Verhulst factor
A large amount of population models use the concept of a carrying capacity. Simulated populations are bounded by invoking finite resources through a survival probability, commonly referred to as the Verhulst factor. The fact, however, that resources are not easily accounted for in actual biological systems makes the carrying capacity parameter ill-defined. Henceforth, we deem it essential to co...
متن کاملCarrying simplices in nonautonomous and random competitive Kolmogorov systems
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of nonautonomous and random competitive Kolmogorov systems via the skew-product flows approach. It is shown that there exists an unordered carrying simplex which attracts all nontrivial positive orbits of the skewproduct flow associated with a nonautonomous (random) competitive Kolmogorov system. © 2008 El...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of a Semelparous Species Model
We study a non-linear age-structured discrete-time population model and give necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of a positive stationary point. In the case of semelparous species we show that the population converges locally to a population consisted only of individuals at one age. It means that the long-time behaviour of the population depends only on an one-dimensional transfor...
