Lotka-Volterra predator-prey: conservative oscillation as self-organisation

Layer 1 — Physicsin the self-organization subtree

Lotka 1920 (PNAS 6:410) and Volterra 1926 (Nature 118:558) independently derived the two-species predator-prey equations: ẋ = ax - bxy (prey grows logistically at rate a, consumed by predator at rate b·xy), ẏ = cxy - dy (predator grows…
