Numerical modelling of the impact of the carrying capacity (S) on the stability of two interacting mutualistic populations: issues for the recovery of stability loss

Abstract

The impact of the changes in the carrying capacities for two mutualistically interacting
legumes on the type of stability is a formidable mathematical problem. The method of
quantifying this impact is called the technique of a numerical simulation. The loss of stability
can be recovered provided the value of the inter-competition coefficient of the cowpea
legume is correctly chosen. The results of this study which we have not seen elsewhere are
presented and discussed.
