Analytical Results of a Two-Species Predator-Prey Model

We propose a sequential monomer reaction model for a two-species predator-prey system, in which the aggregates of either species can spontaneously produce or lose one monomer and meanwhile, a type-B aggregate can prey upon one monomer of a type-A aggregate when they meet. Using the mean-field rate equation approach, we analytically investigate the kinetic behavior of the system. The results show that the evolution of the system depends crucially on the details of the rate kernels. The aggregate size distribution of either species approaches the conventional or modified scaling form in most cases. Moreover, the total size of either species grows exponentially with time in some cases and asymptotically retains a constant quantity in other cases, while it decays with time and vanishes finally in the rest cases.
