Pearl-Verhulst Logistic growth model (Kot, 2001)

The logistic growth model is given by dN/dt = rN(1-N/K) where N is the number (density) of indviduals at time t, K is the carrying capacity of the population, r is the intrinsic growth rate of the population. We assume r=b-d where b is the per capita p.c. birth rate and d is the p.c. death rate.

This model consists of two reaction channels,

 N ---b--->  N + N
 N ---d'---> 0

where d'=d+(b-d)N/K. The propensity functions are a_1=bN and a_2=d'N.

Load package

library(GillespieSSA)

Define parameters

parms <- c(b = 2, d = 1, K = 1000)      # Parameters
tf <- 10                                # Final time
simName <- "Logistic growth" 

Define initial state vector

x0 <- c(N = 500)

Define state-change matrix

nu <- matrix(c(+1, -1),ncol = 2)

Define propensity functions

a  <- c("b*N", "(d+(b-d)*N/K)*N")

Run simulations with the Direct method

  tf = tf,
  method = ssa.d(),
  simName = simName,
  verbose = FALSE,
  consoleInterval = 1
) 
ssa.plot(out, show.title = TRUE, show.legend = FALSE)

Run simulations with the Explict tau-leap method

set.seed(1)
