Question

Transcribed Image Text:Interaction of two species of squirrels fiercely competing for the same ecological niche on
an island is described by Lotka-Volterra-Gause equations
dN1
= N1(2 – N1 – 2N2) = f(N1, N2),
dt
(1)
dN2
N2(3 – N2 – 3N) = g(N1, N2),
dt
where N = N1(t) and N2 = N2(t) are the population densities of the competing species.
(a) Find all equilibria in model (1) and explain biological meaning of each of them. Which
of the equilibria are biologically feasible?
(b) For each of the equilibria write a Jacobian matrix and find its eigenvalues. Classify
all equilibria points.
