1 Background The background information is from the book Mathematical Biology by J.D. Murray 2. The spruce budworm is a species of pests which can defoliate the balsam fir. That is, they feed on the needles of the balsam fir and if there are enough of them, they can eat all of the needles. The population dynamies was proposed to be modeled [1] by: Here, r is the linear growth rate of the species (that is, the growth rate when there are no predators and abundant resources). The parameter K is the carrying capacity. This is related to the density of needles on the trees Finally, the term p(N) represents predation. Birds are the major predator. When the number of budworms is below a certain threshold, the birds don't really eat the budworms and look for food elsewhere. When the number of budworms is above that threshold, p(N) p. Thus, p(N)isessentially a "switch". When N is smaller than some threshold, p(N) and when N is bigger than this threshold, p(N)p. A good form for p(n)is BN2 + N2. The parameter A is the "threshold" and B is the value p. Thus, for values of N less than A, p(N)0 and for values of N bigger than A, p(N)B. (It miht be good to graph this for some particular values of A and B. This function is an example of something called a sigmoid function If you want, read more about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Sigmoid function.) So, the ODE becomes: dN dt BN2 Thus, there are four parameters. The parameters A and K have the same dimensions as N (that is, number of budwors The parameter r has dimensions of (time) and B has the dimensions of (dimensions of N)(time)-'. Thus, overal, the dimensions of BN(I- are-i-tertibisteun-which is what we want. tisne 2 Kill All The Birds We are first going to assume that the trees on which te budworms feed are located in an area where there are no bids. Thus, A or B 0-whichever way you want to view it, the point is that p(N)0 and so we have the new equation: dN dt This is an autonomous equation R that this particular one is called the logistic eguation. This can be solved using methods similar to the ones we have used so far. The first part of the project is to analyze this equation. You must do the following (1) What are the equilibrium solutions? Are they stable or unstable? (2) Let's say you are in charge of the trees on which the budworms feed. What are some steps you cantake to lmit the number of budworms? How would these changes affect the differential equation (e.g., what happens if you change some of the parameters). (3) Let T-25 and K 4. Use dsolve to find and plot several solutions to this ODE with various initial population values. In this problem, there are two equbrium solutions; I'l call them o and ind two solutions with starting values in the (o,) nterval and two solutions with starting values in the (n, oo) range (4) Now, using the euler method, find numerical solutions to the ODE. You are going to do this with step sizes 5, .25, 1. For each step size, plot them solutions on the same graph as the solutions from (3). So, you will end up with three graphs: each graph will contain solutions plotted from part (3) and numerical solutions with a given step size If you are using, Matlab, use the seript template "budworm.part1.m". (Of course, you will also have to fill out the euler 308.m function that I provided). 3 Bring The Birds Back Now, we are going to go back to the original equation: dN BN2 For various reasons, it is good to make this equation "dimensionless". So we introduce Ar Bt Thus, we can re write the equation as: dT In addition to making the equation dimensionless, we have educed the number of parameters. We will study this equation. We are going to set r25 and q 16. This gives the ODE: You will analyze this ODE and answer the following question: (1) Find the equlibrium solutions (round them to 4 decimal places). You can use either the formulas for roots of quartic or cubic equation, or you can use the solve function in Matlab (or something else) (2) You can't use dsolve to solve this ODE it can't find an explicit solution. So you will use your Euler Method function to approximate solutions. Let's say that the equilibriurn solutions are 4,111,112,113. Use Euler's method to plot numerical solutions. As in the previous part, you wll want to plot two solutions with initial values in the interval (uo,), two solutions in (ui,u2) andso on. As above, you will also do this with t step values of of .25, .1,.01 (3) Use your graph above to determine which equilibrium soions are stable r unstable. If you are using Matlab, use the script template "budworm.part2.m". (Of course, will also have to fill out the euler-308.m function that I provided). 4 Deliverables You will answer the questions asked above.
