LotkaVolterraPredPrey
Description
The famous Lotka-Volterra model is a simple ecological model describing the interaction between a predator and a prey species (or also parasite and host species). It has been used independently in epidemics, ecology, and economics. The prey (x) grows exponentially in absence of predators; predation converts prey into predator growth; predator (y) declines without prey. Default parameters produce sustained oscillations.
