Lotka-Volterra Model with Periodic Harvesting
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: A closed interaction of predator prey is considered. The interaction is expressed in the Lotka-Volterra model. Two types of Lotka-Volterra models are considered, with and without carrying capacity of the prey. The paper includes a periodic harvesting of predator and/or prey, a function of time which acts to the model. Hence, the model is in the form of a system of non-homogeneous equations. Dynamical properties of the models are investigated. The solutions are computed numerically. Such interaction is in the need of integrated farming on harvesting of predator and/or prey. In this model the number of population in the system is sensitive to the initial value, which can be applied to the integrated farming systems such that the system remains sustainable.
