Back to the future: a simplified and intuitive derivation of the Lotka-Euler equation
The Lotka-Euler equation is a mathematical expression used to study population dynamics and growth, particularly in the context of demography and ecology. The growth rate $\lambda$ is the speed at which an individual produce their offspring. It is essentially a birth process, and here it is shown that by reversing the process to a death process, in which individuals die at a rate $\lambda^{-1}$, the derivation of the Lotka-Euler equation becomes more intuitive and direct, both in discrete and continuous time.

Lotka-Sharpe Neural Operators for Control of Population PDEs
Age-structured predator-prey integro-partial differential equations provide models of interacting populations in ecology, epidemiology, and biotechnology. A key challenge in feedback design for these systems is the scala…
A Simplified Approach to Two-Port Analysis in Feedback
In this paper, a new pedagogical approach for analyzing the negative feedback circuits is proposed. The presented approach is in fact the completed form of the well-known two-port network analysis which is the most intui…

For years, a main focus of ecological research has been to better understand the complex dynamical interactions between species which comprise food webs. Using the connectance properties of a widely explored synthetic fo…
Ecological communities from random generalised Lotka-Volterra dynamics with non-linear feedback
We investigate the outcome of generalised Lotka-Volterra dynamics of ecological communities with random interaction coefficients and non-linear feedback. We show in simulations that the saturation of non-linear feedback …
