We study the influence of stochastic effects due to finite population size in the evolutionary dynamics of populations interacting in the multi-person Prisoner's Dilemma game. This paper is an extension of the investigation presented in a…

We study additive properties of consecutive prime numbers and the primality of the sums they generate. For a given prime number $p_n$, we consider the sums \[ S_k(p_n) = p_n + p_{n+1} + \cdots + p_{n+k-1}, \] where $k \ge 3$ is an odd…

Evolutionary branching is analysed in a stochastic, individual-based population model under mutation and selection. In such models, the common assumption is that individual reproduction and life career are characterised by values of a…

We introduce a novel sieve for prime numbers based on detecting topological obstructions in a M\"obius-transformed rational metric space. Unlike traditional sieves which rely on divisibility, our method identifies primes as those numbers…

Consider first a memoryless population model described by the usual branching process with a given mean reproduction matrix on a finite space of types. Motivated by the consequences of atavism in Evolutionary Biology, we are interested in a…

We introduce a population dynamics model, where individual genomes are represented by bit-strings. Selection is described by death probabilities which depend on these genomes, and new individuals continuously replace the ones that die,…

We report on a peculiar effect regarding the use of the prime's last digit sequence which is equivalent to a quaternary symbolic sequence. This was used as a driving sequence for the recently introduced Schramm-Loewner Evolution after using…

This paper introduces a new method to find the next prime number after a given prime ${P}$. The proposed method is used to derive a system of inequalities, that serve as constraints which should be satisfied by all primes whose successor is…

We analyse numerically the effects of small population size in the initial transient regime of a simple example population dynamics. These effects play an important role for the numerical determination of large deviation functions of…

It is known that prime numbers occupy specific geometrical patterns or moduli when numbers from one to infinity are distributed around polygons having sides that are integer multiple of number 6. In this paper, we will show that not only…

In our recent work on iterative computation in hardware, we showed that arbitrary-precision solvers can perform more favorably than their traditional arithmetic equivalents when the latter's precisions are either under- or over-budgeted for…

We create a simple test for distinguishing between sets of primes and random numbers using just the sum-of-digits function. We find that the sum-of-the-digits of prime numbers does not have an equal probability of being odd or even. The…

We propose the formula for the number of pairs of consecutive primes $p_n, p_{n+1}<x$ separated by gap $d=p_{n+1}-p_n$ expressed directly by the number of all primes $<x$, i.e. by $\pi(x)$. As the application of this formula we formulate 7…

Recent methods have been developed to map single-cell lineage statistics to population growth. Because population growth selects for exponentially rare phenotypes, these methods inherently depend on sampling large deviations from finite…

Probabilistic modeling is cyclical: we specify a model, infer its posterior, and evaluate its performance. Evaluation drives the cycle, as we revise our model based on how it performs. This requires a metric. Traditionally, predictive…
