Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

An implementation of a predator-prey model, after Rosenzweig and MacArthur (1963). Includes prey density-dependence, and a type-II predator functional response. For use with ode in the deSolve package.

Usage

Arguments

t

Argument for time

y

A vector of length 2, for population 1 and 2

p
