Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Model
What is the Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Model?
The Lotka-Volterra model, also known as the predator-prey equations, describes the dynamics of biological systems in which two species interact, one as a predator and the other as prey. The model is characterized by oscillations in the population numbers of both species.
Key components of the model:
- x: Prey population
- y: Predator population
- α (alpha): Prey birth rate
- β (beta): Predation rate
- γ (gamma): Predator death rate
- δ (delta): Predator growth rate
The model demonstrates how predator and prey populations affect each other and oscillate over time.
