SpruceBudworm.ar( reset=0, rate=0.1, k1= 20, k2= 1.5, alpha = 0.1, beta = 10.1, mu=0.3, rho=10.1, initx=0.9,inity=0.1,mul, add)


One of a number found in A Brief History of Oscillators and Hair Styles of European Men AASU Math/CS Colloquium, April 2002. 


Euler ODE solver implementation of a model of foliage and budworm density in Canadian forests ( a logistic model + predation).  


x' = k1 x (1-x) - mu*y

y' =  k2 *y * (1 - (y/alpha*x)) - (rho * (y**2/(beta**2 * x**2 + y**2)))


All inputs can have .kr rate UGens plugged in.


Nonlinear oscillators can blow up, treat with caution.


reset- If > 0.0, restart with new initial conditions sampled from initx, inity

rate- update rate for a sample step

k1- equation constant

k2- equation constant

alpha- equation constant

beta- equation constant

mu- equation constant

rho- equation constant

initx- reset value for x

inity- reset value for y
