[Solve (a),(b),(c) by hand-writing, (d),(e) in computer]
Rabbits and wolves live in the same area. The only food source for wolves is rabbits. Rabbits die either because of wolf attacks or because of limited food resources. When a wolf attacks a rabbit, it is successful in 1% of cases per year. The coefficient for the competition for available food between the rabbits is 0.08/year. Rabbits have a net birth rate of 6 rabbits per one rabbit each year. Since the number of rabbits in the field is also limited, wolves compete to catch rabbits with a coefficient of 0.03/ year. The wolves that are not successful in catching rabbits will eventually die.
(a) Write the ODE-based models of changes in the number of rabbits and wolves in this area over time.
(b) Identify equilibrium point(s).
(c) Check if the equilibrium point(s) are stable or not by using the eigenvalue-based approach.
(d) It is given that initially there are 4 rabbits and 2 wolves in the area. Use ODE solver in Python to identify the number of rabbits and wolves three years later. Generate also a plot of the numbers versus time.
(e) Given that there are initially 4 rabbits and 2 wolves in the area, use ODE solver in Python to identify how many years it takes to reach steady state. Generate also a plot of the numbers versus time.
