- Homework Statement
- I am trying model Gause's experiment about the paramecium for interspecific competition according to Lotka-Volterra model, but I am stuck at estimating the parameters of the system of differential equations.
- Relevant Equations
- The system of equations is the following:
[itex] \dot{x} = x(L-Ax-By) [/itex]
[itex] \dot{y} = y(M-Cx-Dy) [/itex]
Namely, in the system, I have obtained the value of parameters L, M, A and D, because I treat the other organism as equal to zero, i.e., it doesn't exist, but I am struggling about the values of B and C, that are coupled with the product of x and y. Can anyone help me how to obtain those values. I am programming in Python, and I used curve_fit to fit the logistic equation.
