Case without interaction

Storyboard

To facilitate the analysis, one can first consider a species within the ecosystem as if there were no others and solve the model to understand the behavior.

Under this concept we realize that every species is restricted to the existence of resources that it requires to survive. In this sense, every species is limited in its development, even in the case in which it is argued that it has no natural enemies.

Equations


Examples

The equation

equation=14279

tends to an asymptotic solution equal to

equation\n\nwhich only makes sense if that value is positive. On the other hand, the equation for small populations reduces to\n\n

$\displaystyle\frac{dn}{dt}\sim r n$



which only makes sense if the r factor is positive.

Therefore, the model only makes sense if

the factor $r_i$ is always positive



and

the diagonal factor (self-interaction) $\alpha_{ii}$ is negative

The latter can be understood in the context that an excessive increase will be slowed down by resources not associated with a species (for example, space, light, chemicals, etc.).

If only one species is assumed to exist, the equation

equation=14275

reduces to the equation

equation

since the remaining populations, including the mixed terms in \alpha_{ji} are null.

The equation

equation=14279

with the condition

equation=14281

can be solved by giving us the solution

equation

where n_0 is the initial population.
