Finite Time Blowup in a Realistic Food-Chain Model

Figure 4

The figures above show the dependence of the dynamics on . For , one sees chaotic dynamics with the largest Lyapunov exponent equal to 2.23. Reducing to 1.9 brings the largest lyapunov exponent equal to 0.26. Further reducing it to 1.2 brings the dynamics to a limit cycle.
