A branching process for predator-prey systems
C. Minuesa Abril, C. Gutiérrez Pérez
The aim of this work is to introduce a stochastic process to describe the interaction of predator and prey populations with sexual reproduction and promiscuous mating. To that end, we present a two-type two-sex controlled branching process. In our model, couples of each species produce offspring independently of the others. The interplay of predator and prey populations is modelled through a control process. Precisely, the total number of individuals of each species which survive in each generation is described by a binomial distribution with size given by this number of individuals and probability of success depending on the proportion of preys per predator. We show that under some weak conditions, this new model enables us to depict the typical fluctuating behaviour of predator-prey systems. We also present results about fixation, extinction and coexistence of both species.
Keywords: predator-prey model, two-sex branching process, oscillations, promiscuous mating, extinction, coexistence, density dependence

Upon arrival, groups with guides will be organized. 3. There will be groups in English language. These groups will wait at the destination until the arrival of all buses. 4. After the visit to the Alhambra we will walk to the Carmen de los Mártires to have a cocktail. 5. On the way back, we can go back by bus, which will leave from the same place where they left us at the Alhambra. 6. Although the way to the Alhambra by bus seems long, it really is close to the city. We invite you, whoever wishes, to go down for a pleasant walk. 7. Do not forget to take your Alhambra ticket and your identity card or passport. The document must be the same whose number matches the ticket number you have.
