Abstract:
Many predator-prey systems lead to multiple scale models due to a significant difference of characteristic times of the vital processes of the involved species. This allows for an approximate reduction of the complexity of the models by singular perturbation techniques. We shall discuss some recent developments in the field and, in particular, the existence of canard solutions.
