Lotka’s model

First model for oscillating system was proposed by Volterra for prey-predator interactions in biological systems and by Lotka for autocatalytic chemical reactions. Lotka s model can be represented as... 

Theoretical discussion of oscillatory reaction began since the discovery of the most famous Lotka s model in 1921. After the non-equilibrium theories of Prigogine (1968), many theories to explain the oscillatory chemical reactions have been proposed. A brief summary of some important oscillator models have been described below. 

Lotka s models have also been applied to the understanding of animal populations in ecology. Although animals aren t molecules, the kinetics of their populations follows similar differential equations ...
