Deep in the redwood forest of California, dusky-footed wood rats provide up to 80% of thediet for the spotted owl, the main predator of the wood rat, which is being modelled usingthe following discrete dynamical system. Denote the owl and wood rat populations at timek by xk = [OkRk], where k is the time in months.
Ok+1 = 0.5Ok + 0.4RkRk+1 = −0.104Ok + 1.1RkDetermine the evolution of this system after 5 years. Discuss the evolution of systemafter large time has been passed.
