Hopf bifurcation and transition to chaos in Lotka-Volterra equation. (English) Zbl 0715.92020

Summary: It is shown that in a suitable class of Lotka-Volterra systems it is possible to characterize the centre-critical case of the Hopf bifurcation of the multipopulation equilibrium. Moreover, for three populations, it is shown that, in the non-critical case, Hopf bifurcation is supercritical. Numerical evidence of transition to chaotic dynamics, via period-doubling cascades, from the limit cycle is reported.
