Invasion by rare mutants in a spatial two-type Fisher-Wright system with selection
Abstract
We consider a meanfield system of interacting Fisher-Wright diffusions with selection and rare mutation on the geographic space . The type 1 has fitness 0, type 2 has fitness 1 and (rare) mutation occurs from type 1 to 2 at rate , selection is at rate . The system starts in the state concentrated on type 1, the state of low fitness. We investigate this system for on the original and large time scales. We show that for some at times the emergence of type 2 (positive global type-2 intensity) at a global level occurs, while at times , with we get fixation on type 2 and on the other hand with as asymptotically only type 1 is present. We describe the transition from emergence to fixation in the time scale in the limit by a McKean-Vlasov random entrance law. This entrance law behaves for like for a positive random variable . The formation of small droplets of type-2 dominated sites in times , or is described in the limit by a measure-valued process following a stochastic equation driven by Poissonian type noise which we identify explicitly. The total mass of this limiting droplet process grows like as . We prove that exit behaviour from the small time scale equals the entrance behaviour in the large time scale, namely .
