Game theory approach to sustainizability over sets for multi-species models.
Resumen
The article presents a game theoretic formulation for sustainizability over sets in systems described by ordinary differential equations. It proves theorems for the n-species Gause-Lotka-Volterra population model, illustrating sustainability conditions. The focus is on May-Leonard 3-species GLV model case studies, showing unsustainability but sustainizability through allowable actions. Various sustainability assessment models are discussed, including ecological footprint, SAFE framework, Sustainability Interval Index, and GREENSCOPE tool by the U.S. EPA. SOS and SIZOS methods are introduced as rigorous sustainable system analysis and synthesis tools using positive invariant sets concept. The content delves into mathematical formulations and computational methods for sustainable system analysis and synthesis.
Estadísticas
"In 1992, Rees identified 'The total area of land required to sustain an urban region' as its 'ecological footprint'."
"The EPA has also focused on developing the sustainability assessment tool GREENSCOPE."
"Two recently proposed sustainability concepts are Sustainability Over Sets (SOS) and Sustainizability® Over Sets (SIZOS)."
