Computational Modeling

Computational modeling practical exercises, ODEs solvers and methods implementations (Evaluative exercises from Introduction to Computational Modeling Course - DCOMP - UFSJ).

Requirements

• Python3 and pip package manager:

  sudo apt install python3 python3-pip build-essential python3-dev
  

• pandas library:

  pip install pandas
  

• numpy library:

  pip install numpy
  

• Matplotlib library:

  pip install matplotlib
  

• To install all dependencies:

  ./install_dependencies.sh
  

Execution

You can alter the ODEs solver methods (euler or runge-kutta) and several parameters (initial population, rates, timestep...) directly in the source code before running. The instructions for simulating each model are as it follows:

• Chemical Reactions Model:

  python3 chemical_reactions.py
  

• Lotka-Volterra Model:

  python3 lotka_volterra.py
  

• Species Competition Model:

  python3 species_competition.py
