The first half of this book is concerned with the mathematical analysis of what happens when we combine population level processes, such as selec- tion, with ...

Just saying that evolutionary theory has a solid analytical foundation is not the same as saying that the field of evolutionary theory is anywhere near.
1. Evolution equations. 2. Wave equation. I. Ellwood, D. (David), 1966– editor of compila- tion. II.
It has proven to be widely useful with statistical methods using mathematical models of the process of evolution being extensively developed. Despite this ...
Abstract. This chapter is an overview of foundational results in the mathematical theory of replicator systems.
Abstract. The Adaptive Landscape (AL) provides biologists with a heuristic for modeling the way the forces of evolution affect a population of organisms.
Abstract Evolution is a highly complex multilevel pro- cess and mathematical modeling of evolutionary phenom-.
We present a number of evolution equations which arise in differential geometry starting with the linear heat equation on a Riemannian manifold and ...
To aid in understanding evolutionary biology, mathematical techniques can be used in two ways (Fig. 28.1). The first is to work out the consequences of the ...
We consider the evolution of a trait, which is under both genetic and pheno- typic transmission. An individual is always born in one state but can be ...
The theory of evolution by natural selection is herein subsumed by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The mathematical form of evolutionary theory ...
Evolution equations: an Introduction. The term evolution equation is commonly used to denote any partial differential equation, suited to model the evolution ...
In this chapter we make the link between the existence theory for evolution PDEs we have presented in the two first chapters and the theory ...
We now regard the tree-like descent model implied by the Yule process as a pioneering model of mathematical phylogenetics—but among. Yule's ...
Throughout this chapter, we treat deterministic models, i.e., systems of difference or differential equations. Hence, we assume that populations are effectively ...
1 Three classical examples of (linear) evolution equations are: 1. Heat equation: ∂tu − ∆xu = 0, where the unknown is a function u : R × Rn → R.
Partial differential equations (PDE's) can be regarded as evolution equations on an infinite dimensional state space. The solution u(x, t) belongs to a function ...
We present an equation from which the fundamental equations of ecology and evolutionary biology can be derived. Derivation follows by adding assumptions that ...
u(0) = ϕ0, ∂tu(0) = ϕ1. • The linear equations can be solved explicitly using the Fourier transform, for example for the Schrödinger equation u ...
We can now read the equations of selection in terms of their natural meaning. Selection causes populations to accumulate information about the environment.
