Abstract:Abstract. Usually, the various empirical and semi-empirical equations and mathematical models are used to study the dynamics of socio-economic systems. In this case, there are very often questions related to the validity of application of such equations and models.In this paper, it is shown that the dynamics of socio-economic systems can be described by mathematical equations analogous to the motion equations that are well known in physics (particularly in classical mechanics). In this connection, it is possib… Show more
“…These interactions can be considered non-linear processes, so there has been some interest in ecological stability against several perturbations, such as environmental change and evolution (e.g., [18,19,17]). The Lotka-Volterra equation is one well-known equation that describes non-linear interactions such as intraspecific or interspecific competition, and predation between prey and predators (e.g., [13,4]). From the Lotka-Volterra equation, we can derive a second-order differential equation that describes ecological interactions (e.g., [5,8,30]).…”
We considered the differential geometric structure of non-equilibrium dynamics in non-linear interactions, such as competition and predation, based on Kosambi-Cartan-Chern (KCC) theory. The stability of a geodesic flow on a Finslerian manifold is characterized by the deviation curvature (the second invariant in the dynamical system). According to KCC theory, the value of the deviation curvature is constant around the equilibrium point. However, in the non-equilibrium region, not only the value but also the sign of the deviation curvature depend on time. Next, we reapplied KCC theory to the dynamics of the deviation curvature and determined the hierarchical structure of the geometric stability. The dynamics of the deviation curvature in the nonequilibrium region is accompanied by a complex periodic (node) pattern in the predation (competition) system.
