Description
Summary:In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a kind of Lotka–Volterra system, by using successive linearization techniques. This approach has the advantage to treat two equations separately in each iteration step. Under suitable initial conditions, we construct an invariant region to show the global existence in time of solutions for the system. By means of Sobolev embeddings and regularity results, we find estimates for predator and prey populations in adequate norms. In order to demonstrate the convergence properties of the introduced method, several numerical examples are given.
