We show that a sequence of stochastic spatial Lotka-Volterra models, suitably rescaled in space and time, converges weakly to super-Brownian motion with drift. The result includes both long range and nearest neighbor models, the latter for dimensions three and above. These theorems are special cases of a general convergence theorem for perturbations of the voter model.

This paper considers competitive Lotka-Volterra population dynamics with jumps. The contributions of this paper are as follows. (a) We show stochastic differential equation (SDE) with jumps associated with the model has a unique global positive solution; (b) We discuss the uniform boundedness of $p$th moment with $p>0$ and reveal the sample Lyapunov exponents; (c) Using a variation-of-constants formula for a class of SDEs with jumps, we provide explicit solution for 1-dimensional competitive Lotka-Volterra population dynamics with jumps, and investigate the sample Lyapunov exponent for each co…
We show that renormalized two-dimensional Lotka--Volterra models near criticality converge to a super-Brownian motion. This is used to establish long-term survival of a rare type for a range of parameter values near the voter model.
In this note, we study the long time behavior of Lotka-Volterra systems whose coefficients vary randomly. Bena{ï}m and Lobry (2015) recently established that randomly switching between two environments that are both favorable to the same species may lead to different regimes: extinction of one species or the other, or persistence of both species. Our purpose here is to describe more accurately the range of parameters leading to these regimes, and the support of the invariant probability measure in case of persistence.
We study the equilibria of a large Lokta-Volterra system of coupled differential equations in the case where the interaction coefficients form a large random matrix. In the case where this random matrix follows an elliptic model , we study the existence of a (componentwise) positive equilibrium and describe a phase transition for the matrix normalization.If there is no positive equilibrium, we provide conditions on the model parameters for the existence of a stable equilibrium (with vanishing components) and state heuristics to compute the number of positive components of the equilibrium. Lotk…
Recently, it has been shown that stochastic spatial Lotka-Volterra models when suitably rescaled can converge to a super Brownian motion. We show that the limit process could be a super stable process if the kernel of the underlying motion is in the domain of attraction of a stable law. The corresponding results in Brownian setting were proved by Cox and Perkins (2005, 2008). As applications of the convergence theorems, some new results on the asymptotics of the voter model started from single 1 at the origin are obtained which improve the results by Bramson and Griffeath (1980).
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 …
We consider a Lotka-Volterra food chain model with possibly intra-specific competition in a stochastic environment represented by stochastic differential equations. In the non-degenerate setting, this model has already been studied by A. Hening and D. Nguyen. They provided conditions for stochastic persistence and extinction. In this paper, we extend their results to the degenerate situation in which the top or the bottom species is subject to random perturbations. Under the persistence condition, there exists a unique invariant probability measure supported by the interior of $\mathbb{R}_+^n$…
Consider a large ecosystem (foodweb) with n species, where the abundances follow a Lotka-Volterra system of coupled differential equations. We assume that each species interacts with d other species and that their interaction coefficients are independent random variables. This parameter d reflects the connectance of the foodweb and the sparsity of its interactions especially if d is much smaller that n. We address the question of feasibility of the foodweb, that is the existence of an equilibrium solution of the Lotka-Volterra system with no vanishing species. We establish that for a given ran…
We consider a dynamical system obtained by the random switching between $N$ Lotka-Volterra food chains. Our key assumption will be that at least two vector fields only differ on the resources allocated to the growth rate of the first species. We will show that the existence of a positive equilibrium of the average vector field is equivalent to the persistence of all species. Under this condition, the semi-group converges exponentially quickly to a unique invariant probability measure on the positive orthant. If this condition fails to hold, we have two possibilities. The first possibility is t…
Population dynamics are often affected by sudden environmental perturbations. Parameters of stochastic models are often imprecise due to various uncertainties. In this paper, we formulate a stochastic Lotka Volterra food chain chemostat model that includes Levy jumps and interval parameters. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the positive solution. Moreover, the threshold between extinction and persistence in the mean of the microorganism is obtained. Finally, some simulations are carried out to demonstrate our theoretical results.
This work derives sufficient conditions for the coexistence and exclusion of a stochastic competitive Lotka-Volterra model. The conditions obtained are close to the necessary conditions. In addition, convergence in distribution of positive solutions of the model is also established. A number of numerical examples are given to illustrate our results.
We consider two dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems in fluctuating environment. Relying on recent results on stochastic persistence and piecewise deterministic Markov processes, we show that random switching between two environments both favorable to the same species can lead to the extinction of this species or coexistence of the species.
Motivated by the traditional Lotka-Volterra competitive models, this paper proposes and analyzes a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion partial differential equations. In contrast to the models in the literature, the new formulation enables spatial dependence of the species. In addition, the noise process is allowed to be space-time white noise. In this work, wellposedness, regularity of solutions, existence of density, and existence of an invariant measure for stochastic reaction-diffusion systems with non-Lipschitz and non-linear growth coefficients and multiplicative noise are considered.…
Lotka-Volterra (LV) equations play a key role in the mathematical modeling of various ecological, biological and chemical systems. When the number of species (or, depending on the viewpoint, chemical components) becomes large, basic but fundamental questions such as computing the number of surviving species still lack theoretical answers. In this paper, we consider a large system of LV equations where the interactions between the various species are a realization of a random matrix. We provide conditions to have a unique equilibrium and present a heuristics to compute the number of surviving s…
