Question:
Consider the nonlinear two dimensional Lotka-Volterra (predator-prey) system z'(t) = z(t)[2-2(t)-2y(t)l, y'(t) = y(t)12-y(t)--2(t)] (a) Find all critical points of this system, and at each determine whether or not the system is locally stable or unstable.
(b) We proved in class, using the Bendixson-Dulac theorem, that this system has no periodic solution with trajectory in the first quadrant of the plane. Assuming this, use the Poincare-Bendixson theorem to prove that all trajectories (z(t),y(t)) of the system (2) with initial point ((0),0)) in the first quadrant of the plane tend to the point (4/3,4/3). (e) Discuss the long-term implications of your conclusion in (b) for the predator-prey system (2)
