CASA Working Paper 159

A general Richardson-Lotka- Volterra-reaction diffusion model

A general model is proposed that embraces the separate models - developed in the different traditions of politics and ecology - of Richardson and Lotka and Volterra. This formulation is shown, with suitable definitions of the 'coefficients' to embrace, among others, the Harris- Wilson dynamic retail model and the Bass model.
