On certain modification of age-dependent predator-prey model

This work proposes a new model of coexistence of a predator population with a population of prey. In works [5] and [7] it is assumed that the number of prey aged x eaten by predators aged y is directly proportional to the number of prey aged x and the number of predators aged y. This paper presents a more general model. First of all, the dependency is functional, i.e. the chances of being eaten are affected by the structure of the whole population. In addition, this dependence is not bilinear because the predator, after satisfying its hunger, will give up the hunt for prey.
