This project aims to simulate a multiple predator-multiple prey system using agent-based modeling to develop equations similar to Lotka-Volterra for N predators and prey. The research generalizes equations governing population dynamics in complex ecological relationships. Starting with a model for 2 predator-prey pairs, the study targets generalization to N pairs.

Simulating a Multiple-Predator Multiple-Prey System with Agent-based Modeling
Abstract: The purpose for this project is to use the agent-based system to find an equation to calculate the population of all the different species at any point in time, in a manner similar to the Lotka-Volterra equations, which are for a simpler single-predator single-prey system.
Lotka-Volterra Equations These equations govern growth in a simple predator-prey system Background
Generalize the Lotka-Volterra equations for Multiple Predators and Multiple Prey Project
1.Create an agent-based model for multiple predators and multiple prey. Currently at 2 of each, but hope to generalize to N 2. Once this is finished, using the same method as used to create the Lotka-Volterra equations, generalize the equations for N Predators N Prey Procedure
