The conflict triad dynamical system

A dynamical model of the natural conflict triad is investigated. The conflict interacting substances of the triad are: some biological population, a living resource, and a negative factor (e.g., infection diseases). We suppose that each substance is multi-component. The main coexistence phases for substances are established: the equilibrium point (stable state), the local cyclic orbits (attractors), the global periodic oscillating trajectories, and the evolution close to chaotic. The bifurcation points and obvious thresholds between phases are exhibited in the computer simulations.
