This project discusses predator-prey system, particularly the Lotka-Volterra equations,which model the interaction between two sprecies: prey and predators. Let's solve the Lotka-Volterra equations numerically and visualize the results.

alpha := 1.0; beta := .1; g := 1.5; delta := 0.75e-1; ode1 := diff(x(t), t) = alpha*x(t)-beta*x(t)*y(t); ode2 := diff(y(t), t) = delta*x(t)*y(t)-g*y(t); eq1 := -beta*x*y+alpha*x = 0; eq2 := delta*x*y-g*y = 0; equilibria := solve({eq1, eq2}, {x, y}); print("Equilibrium Points: ", equilibria); initial_conditions := x(0) = 40, y(0) = 9; sol := dsolve({ode1, ode2, initial_conditions}, {x(t), y(t)}, numeric); eq_points := [seq([rhs(eq[1]), rhs(eq[2])], `in`(eq, equilibria))]

[[0., 0.], [20., 10.]]

plots[odeplot](sol, [[t, x(t)], [t, y(t)]], t = 0 .. 100, legend = ["Rabbits", "Wolves"], title = "Prey-Predator Dynamics", labels = ["Time", "Population"])

sol_plot := plots:-odeplot(sol, [[x(t), y(t)]], 0 .. 100, color = "blue"); equilibrium_plot := plots:-pointplot(eq_points, color = "red", symbol = solidcircle, symbolsize = 15); plots:-display([sol_plot, equilibrium_plot], title = "Phase Portrait with Equilibrium Points", labels = ["Rabbits", "Wolves"])

Now, we need to handle a modified version of the Lotka-Volterra equations. These modified equations incorporate logistic growth fot the prey population.
