Population Dynamics: Foxes and Rabbits
Lecture no. 17 from the course: Mastering Linear Algebra: An Introduction with Applications
Taught by Professor Francis Su | 30 min | Categories: Default Category
Return to the problem of modeling the population dynamics of foxes and rabbits from Lecture 14, drawing on your knowledge of eigenvectors to analyze different scenarios. First, express the predation relationship in matrix notation. Then, experiment with different values for the predation factor, looking for the optimum ratio of foxes to rabbits to ensure that both populations remain stable.
