Modeling Coral Reef Bleaching Recovery Through KCC-Theory

We use Volterra-Hamilton systems theory and their associated cost functional to study the population dynamics and productive processes of coral reefs in recovery from bleaching and show that the cost of production remains the same after the process. The KCC-theory geometrical invariants are determined for the model proposed to describe the renewed symbiotic interaction between coral and algae.
