Generalized Lotka-Volterra (glv) Models

The Generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) model: wi(t + 1) = λwi(t) + aw̄(t) − cw̄(t)wi(t) , i = 1, ......, N provides a general method to simulate, analyze and understand a wide class of phenomena that are characterized by power-law probability distributions: P (w)dw ∼ wdw (α ≥ 1) and truncated Levy flights fluctuations Lα(w̄).
