Defining the model

All differential equation models begin with a differential equation. If the problem is an intial value problem, an initial condition is also needed. Replace the question marks ( ? ) in the following input regions to define the relevant ODE model.

> ode1 := diff( x(t), t ) = 2*(1-x(t)/2)*x(t) - x(t)*y(t) ;

> ode2 := diff( y(t), t ) = -16*y(t) + 4*x(t)*y(t) ;

> MODEL := { ode1, ode2 } ; # define the differential equation model

> VAR := { x(t), y(t) } ; # identify the variables in the model
