Convex geometry of the carrying simplex for the May-Leonard map (Q2633645): Difference between revisions

Assuming that a competitive diffeomorphism is fixed, the carrying simplex is a manifold that attracts all nonzero orbits. The paper studies the convex geometry of the carrying simplices for Kolmogorov-type maps. It is shown that if all planes whose normal bundles are contained in a fixed closed and solid convex cone are rendered convex (concave) surfaces by the map, then the carrying simplex (if any) is a convex (concave) surface.
