General numerical model of the competition life cycle: from physics to economy

A numerical model of the competition life cycle (competition self-development in a closed system) is defined on a two-dimensional lattice using “cell automata” technique. Agents’ competition for a limited amount of resource takes place under their growth. Growth/dissimilation of each agent is a result of the in- and out-coming resource flows (income and costs). Stages of competition life cycle at the calculated trajectory are determined and corresponding selection criteria are indicated.
