Fixation in a cyclic Lotka-Volterra model

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1 q-bio

Abstract

We study a cyclic Lotka-Volterra model of N interacting species populating a d-dimensional lattice. In the realm of a Kirkwood approximation, a critical number of species N_c(d) above which the system fixates is determined analytically. We find N_c=5,14,23 in dimensions d=1,2,3, in remarkably good agreement with simulation results in two dimensions.
