INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

1 Introduction

The main goal of this assignment is to simulate a living system of predators-preys and its evolution according to a simplified set of rules of death and survival. The living system is represented by the following elements:

• A square grid of cells (represented in a MATLAB environment as a 2D array).

A representations in each square for the prey, predator, and bare ground (represented in a MATLAB environment with a numerical encoding).

A set of rules that each square will obey designed to imitate the behaviour of the prey, predator, or bare ground (represented in a MATLAB environment with a set of conditional statements).

 

2 Problem description

The living system is represented as a 2D array of any size, predators, prey and bare ground have the following encoding

• Predator → 2

• Prey → 1

• Bare Ground → 0

 

 

 

This is for example a 6x6 living system with 8 preys and 2 predators

 

2    0    0    1    0    0

0    1    1    0    0    0

0    0    0    0    1    0

0    0    0    0    1    0

0    0    2    1    0    0

0    0    1    1    0    0

 

Each cell has 8 surrounding cells. For example the surrounding cells of the cell at position (2,2), that represents a prey, are the one highlighted in red
