IDEMPOTENT ELEMENTS IN THE LOTKA-VOLTERRA ALGEBRA

The notion of our non-associative algebra is obtained from the Lotka-Volterra system of differential equation describing competitiion between animals or vegetals species and also in the kinetic theory of gasses. For the structure of an algebra, the existence of idempotents is of particular interest. But also from the biological aspect the existence of such elements is of interest because the equilibria of a population which can be described by an algebra correspond to idempotents of this algebra. Thus we present some properties of the general natures for a Lotka-Volterra algebra associated to a weight function and idempotents elements.
