  • Predator-Prey Systems

    • The predator–prey equations are a pair of first-order, non-linear, differential equations frequently used to describe the dynamics of biological systems in which two species interact, one a predator and one its prey.
    • The food supply of the predator population depends entirely on the prey populations.
    • 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 $\beta xy$.
    • The predator population follows the prey population.
    • Identify type of the equations used to model the predator-prey systems
