* The following example is taken from to introduce a very commonly discussed continuous problem: the predator-prey population * interaction. In the 1920s and 1930s, Vito Volterra and Alfred Lotka independently reduced Darwin's predator-prey interactions * to mathematical models. *
** This section presents a model of predator and prey where association includes only natural growth or decay and the * preadator-prey interaction itself. All other relationships are considered to be negligible. We will assume that the prey * population grows exponentially in the absense of predation, while the predator population declines exponentially if the prey * population is extinct. The predator-prey interaction is modeled by mass action terms proportional to the product of the two * populations. The model is named the Lotka-Volterra system. *
