A note on the stability of a modified Lotka-Volterra model using Hurwitz polynomials
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In the analysis of the dynamics of the solutions of ordinary differential equations we can observe whether or not small variations or perturbations in the initial conditions produce small changes in the future; this intuitive idea of stability was formalized and studied by Lyapunov, who presented methods for the stable analysis of differential equations. For linear or nonlinear systems, we can also analyze the stability using criteria to obtain Hurwitz type polynomials, which provide conditions for the analysis of the dynamics of the system, studying the location of the roots of the associated characteristic polynomial. In this paper we present a stability study of a Lotka-Volterra type model which has been modified considering the carrying capacity or support in the prey and time delay in the predator, this stable analysis is performed using stability criteria to obtain Hurwitz-type polynomials.
