Modeling of oscillatory scenarios of the coexistence of competing populations

详细

The scenarios of the formation of population distributions have been analyzed for a system of nonlinear reaction–diffusion–advection equations to describe the spatiotemporal distribution of predators and prey. The conditions that must be fulfilled for the model to belong to the class of cosymmetric systems were identified using an analytical approach. Computer simulations of a system with prey and two predators showed that the emergence of families of stationary distributions and oscillatory modes is possible when these conditions are met. The initial distributions of predators were shown to determine the character of the scenario (stationary or non-stationary) at certain combinations of parameters.
