This study reveals that multiple chaotic attractors in Lotka-Volterra models are part of a single chaotic regime. It analyzes complex biomolecular dynamics and bifurcations, offering insights into chaotic systems.

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical Biology
  • Dynamical Systems Theory
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Complex dynamics of replicating biomolecules are crucial for understanding life.
  • Lotka-Volterra models are widely used to study population dynamics and ecological interactions.
  • Chaotic behavior and fractal structures are observed in various biological systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general system of high-order differential equations for complex biomolecular dynamics.
  • To investigate symmetry relations and coordinate transformations for replication systems.
  • To analyze chaotic attractors and fractal tori in generalized Lotka-Volterra models.

Main Methods:
