Abstract
Prey-predator systems have been extensively studied since their first statement by Volterra (1931) and Lotka (1956). Here I want to show the convergence of the boolean predictions with the well-known properties of the classical model. In the following, boolean equations are derived from a verbal description of the system and two models of different complexity are examined. This study gives the opportunity to outline some considerations on the meaning and the bearing of results obtained by a boolean analysis.
