title: Coexistence, competition and hypercyclic interaction in some systems of biological interest.
abstract: Systems of differential equations which describe the selective behavior of self-replicating macromolecules or species under the constraint of constant organization are classified according to their coexistent and competitive behavior as well as the cooperative and/or hypercyclic nature of the inter-species interactions. Two theorems are proved which relate the possibilities for coexistence and competition among species to the presence or absence of hypercyclic linkages.
