Analysis of the Lotka Volterra Equations as a Technological Substitution Model Steven Morris October 25, 2001
DISCONTINUOUS TECHNOLOGY SUBSTITUTION OLD DOMINANT TECHNOLOGY OBSOLESENCE COMPETITION AMONG MANY, NO STANDARD PRODUCT EMERGENCE OF STANDARD PRODUCT INNOVATION NEW DOMINANT TECHNOLOGY
Lotka-Volterra Competition Equations • Model interaction of between species competing for the same resources • Model short term “struggle for existence” • Original applied to biological systems
Historical Use of LVC model • Qualitative analysis using nullclines • Under arbitrary initial conditions, find stable solutions • No scaling of parameters • No quantitative analysis of dynamic response
Key Question: State the problem as commonly found in practice:Given a dominant competitor at equilibrium, what happens when a better suited competitor appears? We describe the resulting replacement curve as “LVC substitution”.

Analysis of LVC Substitution • Step 1: Normalize LVC equations • Step 2:Find models parameters and initial conditions that result in LVC substitution • Step 3: Analyze dynamics of substitution • Step 4: Compare to other substitution models
Decreasing u1 Decreasing u2 Increasing u1 Increasing u2 ANALYSIS OF NULLCLINES
LVC Substitution of u1by u2 • u1 is dominant competitor • u2 is invader with advantage • 2 > 1, 1 < 1
Final condition: u1 = 0, u2= 1 u2= 1 (b) 1-u2 (a) u1= 0 Initial condition: u1 = 1, u2 0 u2= 0 u1= 1 1-u1
