A population model for two species is given by
dtdN=aN−bNP−kN2dtdP=−dP+cNP
where a,b,c,d and k are positive parameters. Show that this may be rescaled to
dτdu=u(1−v−βu)dτdv=−αv(1−u)
and give α and β in terms of the original parameters.
For β<1 find all fixed points in u⩾0,v⩾0, and analyse their stability. Assuming that both populations are present initially, what does this suggest will be the long-term outcome?
