... Uwe C. Täuber, Virginia Tech, DMR-0308548 Research: The classical Lotka-Volterra model (1920, 1926) describes chemical oscillators, predator-prey coexistence, and host-pathogen competition. It predicts regular population cycles, but is unstable against perturbations. A realistic description requires ...

Interspecific Segregation and Phase Transition in a Lattice

However, many mathematical studies show that coexistence of competitive species is not so easy. In the present article, we focus on the segregation of habitat (microh ...
