In Week 2, we continue with 1D flows in
the Stella environment, and introduce the
Maple environment with the same example:
1D population dynamics
The dynamical system in this example is
the logistic equation:
x' = rx(1-x)
where:
- x denotes the population density, positive
- r is a rate constant, positive
Software
- Stella model
- Stella models may be downloaded and
run in Stella 5.1.1.
- Explore a bunch of trajectories
using the Sensi Specs menu item.
- Maple worksheet
- Maple script may be downloaded and then
openned in MapleVr5.
- Create a flock of initial conditions
by editing thet "ini" list.
- Maple script (text)
Recommended experiments
- Change the parameters in the model, and
determine the effects on the trajectory plot.
