Phase Portrait of Lotka-Volterra Equation
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows a phase portrait of the Lotka–Volterra equations, including the critical points. The eigenvalues at the critical points are also calculated, and the stability of the system with respect to the varying parameters is characterized.
