It is well known that the classical recombination equation for two parent individuals is equivalent to the law of mass action of a strongly reversible chemical reaction network, and can thus be reformulated as a generalised gradient system.…
The nonlinear recombination equation from population genetics has a long history and is notoriously difficult to solve, both in continuous and in discrete time. This is particularly so if one aims at full generality, thus also including…
It is a well-known fact that genetic sequences may contain sections with repeated units, called repeats, that differ in length over a population, with a length distribution of geometric type. A simple class of recombination models with…
We review models of biological evolution in which the population frequency changes deterministically with time. If the population is self-replicating, although the equations for simple prototypes can be linearised, nonlinear equations arise…
It is shown that the traditional approach for consideration of recombination under condition of steady-state current in the absence of external carrier generation is internally contradictory. Sometimes the approach leads to obviously…
We study the question of existence of positive steady states of nonlinear evolution equations. We recast the steady state equation in the form of eigenvalue problems for a parametrised family of unbounded linear operators, which are…
In this paper, we consider the evolution of an (infinitely large) population under recombination and additional evolutionary forces, modelled by a measure-valued ordinary differential equation. We provide a stochastic representation for the…
The deterministic selection-recombination equation describes the evolution of the genetic type composition of a population under selection and recombination in a law of large numbers regime. So far, an explicit solution has seemed out of…
Recombination is introduced into Eigen's theory of quasispecies evolution. Comparing numerical simulations of the rate equations in the non-recombining and recombining cases show that recombination has a strong effect on the error threshold…
We consider a quasi-linear parabolic equation with nonlinear dynamic boundary conditions occurring as a natural generalization of the semilinear reaction-diffusion equation with dynamic boundary conditions. The corresponding class of…
We study a nonlinear recombination model from population genetics as a combinatorial version of the Kac-Boltzmann equation from kinetic theory. Following Kac's approach, the nonlinear model is approximated by a mean field linear evolution…
Nonlinear matrix equations play a crucial role in science and engineering problems. However, solutions of nonlinear matrix equations cannot, in general, be given analytically. One standard way of solving nonlinear matrix equations is to…
We consider the inverse problem of determining a general semilinear term appearing in nonlinear parabolic equations. For this purpose, we derive a new criterion that allows to prove global recovery of some general class of semilinear terms…
In this brief article I show how the notion of coarse graining and the Renormalization Group enter naturally in the dynamics of genetic systems, in particular in the presence of recombination. I show how the latter induces a dynamics…
Semiuniform semigroups provide a natural setting for the convolution of generalized finite measures on semigroups. A semiuniform semigroup is said to be ambitable if each uniformly bounded uniformly equicontinuous set of functions on the…
A generalized numerical semigroup is a submonoid $S$ of $\mathbb{N}^d$ with finite complement in it. We characterize isomorphisms between these monoids in terms of permutation of coordinates. Considering the equivalence relation that…
We give an account on what is known on the subject of permutation matchings, which are bijections of a finite regular semigroup that map each element to one of its inverses. This includes partial solutions to some open questions, including…
We consider perturbations of dynamical semigroups on the algebra of all bounded operators in a Hilbert space generated by covariant completely positive measures on the semi-axis. The construction is based upon unbounded linear perturbations…
The set of all subsets of any inverse semigroup forms an involution semiring under set-theoretical union and element-wise multiplication and inversion. We find structural conditions on a finite inverse semigroup guaranteeing that neither…
The genetic product of the groupoids, originating in the theory of DNA recombination, is introduced. It permits a natural generalization of the classical genetic algorithm. The full characterization of all three-element genetic groupoids…
