Global Stability Of Cycles: Lotka-Volterra Competition Model With Stocking, Saber Elaydi, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu
Global Stability Of Cycles: Lotka-Volterra Competition Model With Stocking, Saber Elaydi, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu
Saber Elaydi
In this article, we prove that in connected metric spaces k - cycles are not globally attracting (where k>2). We apply this result to a two species discrete-time Lotka-Volterra competion model with stocking. In particular, we show that an k-cycle cannot be the ultimate life-history of evolution of all population sizes. This solves Yakubu's conjecture but the question on the structure of the boundary of the basins of attraction of the locally stable n-cycles is still open.
