Darwinian evolution can be modeled in general terms as a flow in the space of fitness (i.e. reproductive rate) distributions. In the diffusion approximation, Tsimring et al. have showed that this flow admits "fitness wave" solutions:…
Surface growth in random media is usually governed by both the surface tension and the random local forces. Simulations on lattices mimic the former by imposing a maximum gradient $m$ on the surface heights, and the latter by site-dependent…
The diameter distribution of a given species of deciduous trees in mature, temperate zone forests is well approximated by a Gamma distribution. Here we give new experimental evidence for this conjecture by analyzing deciduous tree size data…
We consider the spectral properties of balanced stochastic block models of which the average degree grows slower than the number of nodes (sparse regime) or proportional to it (dense regime). For both regimes, we prove a phase transition of…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of a random walk whose evolution is dependent on the state of an itself dynamically evolving environment. In particular, we extend our previous results in [Bethuelsen and V\"ollering, 2016] and prove a…
For $\alpha \in (1,2]$, the $\alpha$-stable graph arises as the universal scaling limit of critical random graphs with i.i.d. degrees having a given $\alpha$-dependent power-law tail behavior. It consists of a sequence of compact measured…
In this review some simple models of asexual populations evolving on smooth landscapes are studied. The basic model is based on a cellular automaton, which is analyzed here in the spatial mean-field limit. Firstly, the evolution on a fixed…
We consider a system consisting of $n$ particles, moving forward in jumps on the real line. System state is the empirical distribution of particle locations. Each particle ``jumps forward'' at some time points, with the instantaneous rate…
We propose a class of evolutionary models that involves an arbitrary exchangeable process as the breeding process and different selection schemes. In those models, a new genome is born according to the breeding process, and then a genome is…
A distributional symmetry is invariance of a distribution under a group of transformations. Exchangeability and stationarity are examples. We explain that a result of ergodic theory provides a law of large numbers: If the group satisfies…
To mimic the complex transport-like collective phenomena in a man-made or natural system, we study an open network junction model of totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with bulk particle attachment and detachment. The stationary…
We consider the edge-triangle model, a two-parameter family of exponential random graphs in which dependence between edges is introduced through triangles. In the so-called replica symmetric regime, the limiting free energy exists together…
We introduce a kinetic framework for modeling the time evolution of the statistical distributions of the population densities in the three compartments of susceptible, infectious, and recovered individuals, under epidemic spreading driven…
The conventional Hamming distance measurement captures only the short-time dynamics of the displacement between the uncorrelated random configurations. The minimum difference technique introduced by Tirnakli and Lyra [Int. J. Mod. Phys. C…
We report a simple method to accurately determine the threshold and the exponent $\nu$ of the Bak-Sneppen model and also investigate the BS universality class. For the random-neighbor version of the BS model, we find the threshold…
We consider the quasi-static evolution of a brittle layer on a stiff substrate; adhesion between layers is assumed to be elastic. Employing a phase-field approach we obtain the quasi-static evolution as the limit of time-discrete evolutions…
We present a general scheme for treating particle beams as many particle systems. This includes the full counting statistics and the requirements of Bose/Fermi symmetry. In the stationary limit, i.e., for longer and longer beams, the total…
Evolution in changing environments is an important, but little studied aspect of the theory of evolution. The idea of adaptive walks in fitness landscapes has triggered a vast amount of research and has led to many important insights about…
We consider a detailed-balance violating dynamics whose stationary state is a prescribed Boltzmann distribution. Such dynamics have been shown to be faster than any equilibrium counterpart. We quantify the gain in convergence speed for a…
Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) phenomena could have a significant effect on the dynamics of ecosystems. The Bak-Sneppen (BS) model is a simple and robust model of biological evolution that exhibits punctuated equilibrium behavior. Here we…
