Solve an example of the following model's differential equations
analytically by setting alpha_(12) = alpha_21 = 0, which will
reduce the system to two separate logistic equations.

Two species [edit] Given two populations, X1 and X2, with logistic dynamics, the Lotka-Volterra formulation adds an additional term to account for the species' interactions. Thus the competitive Lotka-Volterra equations are: diri dt =ri21 11 + 12.22 K (1-(** =12 (1-( )) d:x2 dt 1212 12 + 02121 K2 Here, 012 represents the effect species 2 has on the population of species 1 and 221 represents the effect species 1 has on the population of species 2. These values do not have to be equal. Because this is the competitive version of the model, all interactions must be harmful (competition) and therefore all a-values are positive. Also, note that each species can have its own growth rate and carrying capacity. A complete classification of this dynamics, even for all sign patterns of above coefficients, is available. [112] which is based upon equivalence to the 3-type replicator equation.
