Summary: | In this paper, we initiate the study of a discrete-time dynamical system
modelling a trophic network connecting the three types of plankton
(phytoplankton, zooplankton, mixoplankton) and bacteria. The nonlinear operator
V associated with this dynamical system is of type 4-Volterra quadratic
stochastic operator (QSO) with twelve parameters. We give conditions on the
parameters under which this operator maps the five-dimensional standard simplex
to itself and we find its fixed points. Moreover, we study the limit points of
trajectories for this operator. For each situations we give some biological
interpretations. |
