Replicator equation on networks with degree regular communities [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Network Science, 2018
The replicator equation is one of the fundamental tools to study evolutionary dynamics in well-mixed populations. This paper contributes to the literature on evolutionary graph theory, providing a version of the replicator equation for a family of ...

Evolutionary Game-Theoretic Approach to the Population Dynamics of Early Replicators [PDF]

open access: yesLife
The population dynamics of early replicators has revealed numerous puzzles, highlighting the difficulty of transitioning from simple template-directed replicating molecules to complex biological systems.

Life as a Categorical Information-Handling System: An Evolutionary Information-Theoretic Model of the Holobiont [PDF]

open access: yesBiology
Living systems can be understood as organized entities that capture, transform, and reproduce information. Classical gene-centered models explain adaptation through frequency changes driven by differential fitness, yet they often overlook the higher ...

The Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Suppose we have n different types of self-replicating entity, with the population Pi of the ith type changing at a rate equal to Pi times the fitness fi of that type. Suppose the fitness fi is any continuous function of all the populations P1,…,Pn.

Eco-evolutionary games for harvesting self-renewing common resource: effect of growing harvester population

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Complexity, 2023
The tragedy of the commons (TOCs) is a ubiquitous social dilemma witnessed in interactions between a population of living entities and shared resources available to them: the individuals in the population tend to selfishly overexploit a common resource ...

The κ-Deformed Calogero–Leyvraz Lagrangians and Applications to Integrable Dynamical Systems

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The Calogero–Leyvraz Lagrangian framework, associated with the dynamics of a charged particle moving in a plane under the combined influence of a magnetic field as well as a frictional force, proposed by Calogero and Leyvraz, has some special features ...

The replicator dynamics of generalized Nash games

open access: yesMathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2021
Generalized Nash Games are a powerful modelling tool, first introduced in the 1950's. They have seen some important developments in the past two decades.

The Point of No Return: Evolution of Excess Mutation Rate Is Possible Even for Simple Mutation Models

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Under constant selection, each trait has a fixed fitness, and small mutation rates allow populations to efficiently exploit the optimal trait. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that mutation rates will evolve downwards.
