Stationary pattern of vortices or strings in biological systems: Lattice version of the Lotka-Volterra model

Abstract: By stochastic simulation, we investigate the spatial pattern in the biological system composed of three competing species. Topological defects are introduced to explain the pattern formation in this system. The spatial dimension d determines the nature of defects such as kinks, vortices, and strings. When J =2,3, the system approaches the stationary state, where the peculiar defect configuration is found.

“…In the Rock-Scissors-Paper model introduced by Tainaka (1988Tainaka ( , 1989Tainaka ( , 1994, agents are located on the sites of a square lattice (with periodic boundary condition), and follow one of three possible strategies to be denoted shortly as R, S, and P. The evolution of the population is governed by random sequential invasion events between randomly chosen nearest neighbors. Nothing happens if the two agents follow the same strategy.…”

“…Such competition is metaphorically described by rock-paper-scissors (RPS) games, where "rock crushes scissors, scissors cut paper, and paper wraps rock" [8]. While non-spatial RPS-like models often evolve toward extinction of all but one species in finite time [9], their spatial counterparts are generally characterized by the long coexistence of species and by the formation of complex spatio-temporal patterns [10][11][12][13][14]. Recently, two-dimensional versions of a model introduced by May and Leonard [15] have received much attention [11][12][13][14].…”

“…Under the scope of the generalized entropies S q , we will study in the present paper the temporal evolution of a cyclic Lotka-Volterra model in the lattice (LLV) [13,14]. This model is particularly rich as it exhibits interesting features, such as stationary states with spatial patterns [13] and fractality [15], which makes it a potential candidate for the applicability of the entropies S q .…”

“…This model is particularly rich as it exhibits interesting features, such as stationary states with spatial patterns [13] and fractality [15], which makes it a potential candidate for the applicability of the entropies S q . The LLV is one of the descendants of the original versions constructed by Lotka [16] and Volterra [17] to model autocatalytic chemical reactions and the prey-predator dynamics, respectively, and further adapted to many other situations from active transport by proteins [18] to social processes [19].…”
