Question

Using the phase plane program, plot the phase plane for the Lotka-Volterra model:

Answer 1

Answer:

yes, the model gives a realistic behavior

Explanation:

This describes the inner equilibrium point is a stable node, here it's a center. These are periodic solutions. Populations of the mice and owls are periodic. It describes: when the mice population is lower, the owl population decreases; again the owl is lower so mice got a chance to grow its population; now as sufficient food(mice) is there, the owl population increases; as predator population increases, the prey population decreases; and this continues as a cycle forever.

So, yes, the model gives a realistic behavior.
