We study a stochastic differential equation model of prey-predator evolution. To keep in line with a known deterministic model we include the social and interaction terms with the drift in our model, and the randomness arises as fluctuations in the ecosystem. The notion of equilibrium population level and special types of fluctuations force us to work with degenerate elliptic operators. We consider the propagation of the population system in a sufficiently large but bounded domain. This enables us to look at not only the population extinction, but also the explosion beyond a certain level. Both extinction and explosion are possible; and, when they are not, we show that the population asymptotically reaches the equilibrium level. We show that the extinction, explosion and saturation probabilities satisfy, as functions of the initial population size, an integral equation arising out of a Dirichlet problem for a non-degenerate elliptic equation; and these probabilities are also smooth solutions of the Dirichlet problems. They are also used to express the solution of another Dirichlet problem for a degenerate elliptic equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
