This issue enumerates a list of exported methods for analyzing Lotka-Volterra systems. The "analysis" in this case refers exclusively to basica dynamical system aspects of these systems such as the existence of fixed points there stability and so on (higher order analyses, such as those pertaining to the diversity of an ecosystems, management strategies, etc. are beyond the scope of the module). Use this issue to suggest methods that should be part of the standard api for Lotka Volterra types.

Methods applicable to all AbstractLotkaVolterra types:

  • somefixedpoint/somecycle - returns true if there exists some fixed point/cycle in the ecosystem
  • isfixedpoint/iscycle - returns true if there is a fixed point/cycle in the specified sector
  • fixedpoint/cycle, fixedpoints/cycles - value fixed point(s)/cycles(s) of ecosystem
  • somefeasible/somestable/someviable - returns true if there exists some feasible/stable/viable fixed point or cycle in the ecosystem
  • isfeasible/isstable/isviable - returns true if there is a feasible/stable/viable fixed point or cycle in the specified sector
  • somepersistent - returns true if there are initial conditions for which the system is persistent
  • somepersistent - returns true if the given initial condition for which the system leads to persistence
