Stability of equilibriums and bifurcation analysis of two-dimensional autonomous competitive Lotka-Volterra dynamical system

Danijela Branković, Marija Mikić

Abstract

A detailed analysis of the stability of equilibriums and bifurcations of the two-dimensional autonomous competitive Lotka-Volterra dynamical system is performed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are determined for equilibriums (without the origin) to be asymptotically stable or unstable on $\left[0, +\infty\right)^2$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are determined so that the observed dynamical system has no equilibriums in $\left(0, +\infty\right)^2 $. All results are presented in five tables and five figures. We also found that four transcritical bifurcations occur in the observed dynamical system if it is analyzed on $\mathrm{R}^2$.

Key Result

Theorem 3.1

The equilibrium $E_1\left(b_1/a_{11},0\right)$ of the system (2d) is asymptotically stable on $\left[0, +\infty \right)^2$ if and only if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
