Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Stable coexistence in indefinitely large systems of competing species

arXiv:2404.14031v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Lotka-Volterra system is a set of ordinary differential equations describing growth of interacting ecological species. This model has gained renewed interest in the context of random interaction networks. One of the debated questions is understanding how the number of species in the system, $n$, influences the stability of the model. Robert May demonstrated that large systems become unstable, unless species-species interactions vanish. This outcome has frequently been interpreted as a universal phenomenon and summarised as "large systems are unstable". However, May's results were performed on a specific type of graphs (Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi), whereas we explore a different class of networks and we show that the competitive Lotka-Volterra system maintains stability even in the limit of large $n$, despite non-vanishing interaction strength. We establish a lower bound on the interspecific interaction strength, formulated in terms of the maximum and minimum degrees of the ecological network, rather than being dependent upon the network's size. For values below this threshold, coexistence of all species is attained in the asymptotic limit. In other words, the outlier nodes with large degree cause instability, rather than the large number of species in the system. Our result refines May's bound, by showing that the type of network model is relevant and can lead to completely different results.
