Investigating Lotka-Volterra model using computer simulation
Abstract
In this project we study the Lotka-Volterra model, also known as the model describing the population dynamics in the Predator-prey system. This model describes the interaction of the two species and also the development of their populations over time. We simulate this model using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm. This is the most widely used method for numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Based on the obtained program, we simulated two populations and traced their behavior over time. We optimized the parameters and managed to obtain results that are very close to real data for such populations.
