A bivariate non-homogeneous birth and death model for predator–prey interactions

We propose a bivariate non-homogeneous birth and death process as a model for predator–prey interactions. Its expectation is periodic, as it is a solution to the classical Lotka–Volterra system. Moreover, the mean age at extinction, as defined in Kendall (1948), is infinite.
