Simple Population Model
X’(t) = bX(t) - dX(t) = (b-d)X(t) = rX(t)
EXPONENTIAl growth
not realistic in the long run
assumption: unlimited resources
Population Model with Carrying Capacity
X(t) / k = the fraction of resources used
1 - (X(t) / k) = the fraction of resources left
THEREFORE
X’(t) = rX(t) (1 - (X(t) / k))
LOGISTIC model!!
Lotka-Volterra Model (aka Shark-Tuna Model)
T(t) = Prey
S(t) = Predator
T’(t) = bT(t) - β S(t) T(t)
S’(t) = mβS(t) T(t) - dS(t)
state variables: S(t), T(t)
parameters: β, m, b, d
