Introduction

This is a numerical simulator of a coupled system of two Lotka-Volterra subsystems. The simulator and the project report include:

• the global and local stability analisys of the system,
• the state estimation with an Extended Kalman Filter,
• and the control with a Positive Controller and an Optimal Controller.

For a detailed explanation of the system, the methods, and the results, refer to the project report.

Getting started

Prerequisites

The code is completely based on Python3. So, it is sufficient to have a Python3 interpreter, and have installed the libraries NumPy and MatPlotLib to be able to run the code.

Installing

1. Clone the repository from the main branch.
2. Update the configuration file config.yaml or leave the standard configuration.

Running the simulation

Run main.py.
