The conditions of existence of first integrals
and Hamiltonian structures of Lotka-Volterra and Volterra systems.
A study of a certain subset
of Volterra equations has revealed that some statements about time-independent
constants of motion, Hamiltonian functions and Poisson structure matrices
appearing in the Lotka-Volterra equations, regarded as proven, or of the sort
that they could be proved, are not valid, in fact. Particular cases are given
as examples to explain the reasons for the occurring phenomena.
