Rosenzweig-MacArthur predator-prey model [duplicate]
The predator-prey model is governed by the following system of ode's.
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\displaystyle{\frac{dx}{dt}=r x\left(1 - \frac{x}{K}\right) - \frac{s y x}{1 + s \tau x}},\\[0.1cm]

Solving the Lotka-McKendrick model with NDSolve
The Lotka-McKendrick model is a demographic model that represents the way a population changes over time due to fertility and mortality. For an age-specific population density $ u(a, t) $, and a total ...

The Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model
I have a Mathematica assignment where we need to numerically solve a Lotka-Volterra predator-prey population equations.
$$\frac{dx}{dt}=ax-bxy,\quad\frac{dy}{dt}=-cx+dxy,$$
where $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb{R}...

Poincaré section for non-autonomous logistic equation with periodic harvesting
I'd like to plot the Poincaré section based on the problem from here: see exercise 8.1
Given that the standard logistic equation with harvesting function is
$$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = ax(1 - x) - h (1 + \sin{...
