Phase Transitions and Oscillations in a Lattice Prey-Predator Model
arXiv:cond-mat/0009440 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.63.056119
Abstract
A coarse grained description of a two-dimensional prey-predator system is given in terms of a 3-state lattice model containing two control parameters: the spreading rates of preys and predators. The properties of the model are investigated by dynamical mean-field approximations and extensive numerical simulations. It is shown that the stationary state phase diagram is divided into two phases: a pure prey phase and a coexistence phase of preys and predators in which temporal and spatial oscillations can be present. The different type of phase transitions occuring at the boundary of the prey absorbing phase, as well as the crossover phenomena occuring between the oscillatory and non-oscillatory domains of the coexistence phase are studied. The importance of finite size effects are discussed and scaling relations between different quantities are established. Finally, physical arguments, based on the spatial structure of the model, are given to explain the underlying mechanism leading to oscillations.
