BUSTOS, Natalia C. et al. Alternative Stochastic Modeling to Lotka-Volterra through a Multiagent System. Tecnol. cienc. [online]. 2023, n.47, pp.35-46.  Epub July 11, 2023. ISSN 1666-6933.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33414/rtyc.47.35-46.2023.

In this work, the modeling of a simple ecosystem of prey and predators is presented, through a multi-agent system where each individual of a species is characterized as a circle of a certain radius and mass that moves with a constant speed in a finite plane universe. The interactions between agents are characterized by the overlapping of areas of each agent during their displacements. This model not only allows adjusting conditions that show a coupled oscillatory temporal evolution of the populations, typical of the different solutions to the Lotka-Volterra equation, but also generates monitoring of variables of ecosystem interest such as the spatial distribution of agents or the density of biomass.
