Lotka-Volterra with randomly fluctuating environments: a full description

Probability 2016-07-18 v1

Abstract

In this note, we study the long time behavior of Lotka-Volterra systems whose coefficients vary randomly. Benam and Lobry established that randomly switching between two environments that are both favorable to the same species may lead to four different regimes: almost sure extinction of one of the two species, random extinction of one species or the other and persistence of both species. Our purpose here is to provide a complete description of the model. In particular, we show that any couple of environments may lead to the four different behaviours of the stochastic process depending on the jump rates.
