  • Predator-Prey Systems

    • The rate of predation upon the prey is assumed to be proportional to the rate at which the predators and the prey meet; this is represented above by $\beta xy$.
    • If either $x$ or $y$ is zero, then there can be no predation.
    • In the predator equation, $\delta xy$ represents the growth of the predator population.
    • The predator population follows the prey population.
    • Identify type of the equations used to model the predator-prey systems
