This course introduces the use of semigroup methods in the solution of linear and nonlinear (quasi-linear) hyperbolic partial differential equations, with particular application to wave equations and Hermitian hyperbolic systems. Throughout…
We introduce a model of molecular evolution in which the fitness of an individual depends both on its own and on the parent's genotype. The model can be solved by means of a nonlinear mapping onto the standard quasispecies model. The…
The dynamics of recombination in genetics leads to an interesting nonlinear differential equation, which has a natural generalization to a measure valued version. The latter can be solved explicitly under rather general circumstances. It…
We present stochastic, finite-population formulations of the Crow-Kimura and Eigen models of quasispecies theory, for fitness functions that depend in an arbitrary way on the number of mutations from the wild type. We include back mutations…
We explore some aspects of the relationship between biological evolution processes and the mathematical theory of records. For Eigen's quasispecies model with an uncorrelated fitness landscape, we show that the evolutionary trajectories…
The paper concerns boundary value problems for general nonautonomous first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems in a strip. We construct small global classical solutions, assuming that the right hand sides are small. In the case that all…
The 3-dimensional (3D) structure of the genome is of significant importance for many cellular processes. In this paper, we study the problem of reconstructing the 3D structure of chromosomes from Hi-C data of diploid organisms, which poses…
The concept of fitness is introduced, and a simple derivation of the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection (which states that the average fitness of a population increases if its variance is nonzero) is given. After a short discussion of…
Using a new presentation for partition algebras (J. Algebraic Combin. 37(3):401-454, 2013), we derive explicit combinatorial formulae for the seminormal representations of the partition algebras. These results generalise to the partition…
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear degenerate parabolic stochastic partial differential equation driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. In particular, we adapt the notion of kinetic formulation and kinetic…
A simple analytical framework to study the molecular quasispecies evolution of finite populations is proposed, in which the population is assumed to be a random combination of the constiyuent molecules in each generation,i.e., linkage…
We emphasize intertwining relations as a universal tool in constructing one-dimensional quasi-exactly solvable operators and offer their possible generalization to the multidimensional case. Considered examples include all quasi-exactly…
Motivated by structured parasite populations in aquaculture we consider a class of size-structured population models, where individuals may be recruited into the population with distributed states at birth. The mathematical model which…
The general conditions under which the quadratic, uniform and monotonic convergence in the quasilinearization method of solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations could be proved are formulated and elaborated. The generalization of…
We study evolution equations with non-self-adjoint generators, for example the convection-diffusion equation. Spectral expansions are not a reliable method of solving such equations, because they are so ill-conditioned. We introduce a new…
This paper investigates two classes of quasilinear and essentially nonlinear integral equations with a sum-difference kernel on the half-line. Such equations arise in various areas of physics, including the theory of radiative transfer in…
We investigate classifications of quasitrivial semigroups defined by certain equivalence relations. The subclass of quasitrivial semigroups that preserve a given total ordering is also investigated. In the special case of finite semigroups,…
Describing the evolution of a population of genomes evolving in a complex fitness landscape is generally very hard. We here introduce an approximate Gaussian closure scheme to characterize analytically the statistics of a genomic population…
We study the simple genetic algorithm with a ranking selection mechanism (linear ranking or tournament). We denote by $\ell$ the length of the chromosomes, by $m$ the population size, by $p_C$ the crossover probability and by $p_M$ the…
I recently proposed a method of bosonization valid for systems of an even number of fermions whose partition function is dominated at low energy by bosonic composites. This method respects all symmetries, in particular fermion number…
