Abstract
We model the evolution of two competing populations by a two-dimensional size-dependent branching process of Ricker type. For a small force of inhibition by the present population (modeling, e.g., scarcity of food) the process typically follows the corresponding deterministic Ricker competition model closely, for a very long time. Under some conditions, notably a mutual invasibility condition, the deterministic model has a coexistence fixed point in the open first quadrant. The asymptotic behaviour is studied through the quasi-stationary distribution of the process. We initiate a study of those distributions as the inhibitive force approach 0.
