Question
Interaction of two species of squirrels fiercely competing for the same ecological niche on
an island is described by Lotka-Volterra-Gause equations
dN1
N1(2 – N1 – 2N2) = f(N1, N2),
dt
(1)
dN2
N2(3 – N2 – 3N1) = g(N1, N2),
dt
where N1 = N1(t) and N2 = N2(t) are the population densities of the competing species.
