Overview

This project reproduces and extends a modified Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model with immigration-based population control. It develops a numerical tuning workflow to identify parameters that push the system toward target predator and prey equilibria while maintaining long-term stability.

Features

  • Reproduction and analysis of a modified Lotka–Volterra model
  • Constant and population-dependent immigration model comparisons
  • Numerical equilibrium tuning for target population levels
  • MATLAB simulation workflow using ODE and optimization routines
  • Stability-focused evaluation of long-term cyclical dynamics
