Summary

Description
English: The Phase plot for Lotka-Volterra model for predator-prey dynamics for varying initial populations of the predator. The parameters are:

alpha = 1.1 # prey growth rate
beta = 0.4 # prey death rate
gamma = 0.4 # predator death rate
delta = 0.1 # predator growth rate

x0 = 10 # initial prey population
