We introduce a model of biological evolution where species evolve in response to biotic interactions and a fluctuating environmental stress. The species may either become extinct or mutate to acquire a new fitness value when the effective…
We present a hybrid algorithm between an evolution strategy and a quasi Newton method. The design is based on the Hessian Estimation Evolution Strategy, which iteratively estimates the inverse square root of the Hessian matrix of the…
Fundamental properties of macroscopic gene-mating dynamic evolutionary systems are investigated. We focus on a single locus, any number of alleles in a two-gender dioecious population, for a large class of systems within population…
A simplified form of the time dependent evolutionary dynamics of a quasispecies model with a rugged fitness landscape is solved via a mapping onto a random flux model whose asymptotic behavior can be described in terms of a random walk. The…
This paper investigates a novel mechanism for quasi-singularity formation in both linear and nonlinear hyperbolic wave equations in two and three dimensions. We prove that over any finite time interval, there exist inputs such that the…
Migration between different habitats is ubiquitous among biological populations. In this Letter, we study a simple quasispecies model for evolution in two different habitats, with different fitness landscapes, coupled through one-way…
We investigate the evolutionary dynamics of a finite population of sequences adapting to NK fitness landscapes. We find that, unlike in the case of an infinite population, the average fitness in a finite population is maximized at a small…
This paper first analyzes the resolution complexity of two random CSP models (i.e. Model RB/RD) for which we can establish the existence of phase transitions and identify the threshold points exactly. By encoding CSPs into CNF formulas, it…
Quantum phase transition is interpreted as an evolution, at the end of which a parameter-dependent Hamiltonian $H(g)$ loses its observability. In the language of mathematics, such a quantum catastrophe occurs at an exceptional point of…
We study a continuous-time nearest-neighbor branching random walk on the $d$-dimensional $b$-ary hypercube $\{0,1,\dots,b-1\}^d$ as a model for viral quasispecies evolution under mutation and replication. Motivated by mutagenic antiviral…
We show that a homeomorphism of Euclidean space is quasiconformal if and only if at each point there exists a sequence of uncentered open sets with bounded eccentricity shrinking to that point whose images also have bounded eccentricity.…
We complete the study concerning the minimization of the positive principal eigenvalue associated with a weighted Neumann problem settled in a bounded regular domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N\ge2$, for the weight varying in a…
We prove the existence theorem for basic elements in the quasi-projective case, extending results of Eisenbud-Evans and Bruns from the affine case. We give several geometric applications. For example, we show that every local complete…
We prove sharp spectral transition in the arithmetics of phase between localization and singular continuous spectrum for Diophantine almost Mathieu operators. We also determine exact exponential asymptotics of eigenfunctions and of…
This work studies a variational formulation and numerical solution of a regularized morphoelasticity problem of shape evolution. The foundation of our analysis is based on the governing equations of linear elasticity, extended to account…
This paper develops a comprehensive theory generalizing exponential decay patterns for evolution processes in Banach spaces. We replace classical exponential bounds with more flexible decay rates governed by an increasing homeomorphism $h$.…
We study Eigen's model of quasi-species, characterized by sequences that replicate with a specified fitness and mutate independently at single sites. The evolution of the population vector in time is then closely related to that of quantum…
In the large D limit, and under certain circumstances, it has recently been demonstrated that black hole dynamics in asymptotically flat spacetime reduces to the dynamics of a non gravitational membrane propagating in flat D dimensional…
We study quasi-species and closely related evolutionary dynamics like the replicator-mutator equation in high dimensions. In particular, we show that under certain conditions the fitness of almost all quasi-species becomes independent of…
The general semiclassical time-dependent two-state problem is considered for a specific field configuration referred to as the generalized Rosen-Zener model. This is a rich family of pulse amplitude- and phase-modulation functions…
