Phase portraits of a family of Kolmogorov systems depending on six parameters

Abstract

Consider a general $3$-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system with a rational first integral of degree two of the form $H=x^i y^j z^k$. The restriction of this Lotka-Volterra system to each surface $H(x,y,z)=h$ varying $h\in \mathbb{R}$ provide Kolmogorov systems. With the additional assumption that they have a Darboux invariant of the form $x^\ell y^m e^{st}$ they reduce to the Kolmogorov systems \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \dot{x}&=x \left( a_0- μ(c_1 x + c_2 z^2 + c_3 z)\right),\\ \dot{z}&=z\left( c_0+ c_1 x + c_2 z^2 + c_3 z\right). \end{split} \end{equation*} In this paper we classify the phase portraits in the Poincaré disc of all these Kolmogorov systems which depend on six parameters.
