function f = rabfox(t,y) % Computes y' for the Volterra model for the % population of rabbits and foxes. % The model is % r' = 2 r - alpha r f % f' = - f + alpha r f % The parameter alpha is the encounter factor. % y(1) is the number of rabbits at time t. % y(2) is the number of foxes at time t. % Dianne P. O'Leary 04/2008 global alpha % interaction constant f(1,1) = 2*y(1) - alpha*y(1)*y(2); f(2,1) = -y(2) + alpha*y(1)*y(2);
