Abstract

The paper provides an approximate analytic solution to the Lotka Volterra  predator-prey differential equations by symbolic regression. The approximate analytic solution can be made as close as desired to the actual analytic solution involving complicated Lambert W functions. As a side result, the symbolic regression approach also provides an approximation to the otherwise less tractable Lambert W integral equation.
