Description for Probabilistic Models of Population Evolution: Scaling Limits, Genealogies and Interactions
Paperback. Presenting the mathematical description of evolutionary models of populations subject to interactions (e.g. competition) in the population, this book includes models of finite populations, and limiting models as the size of the population tends to infinity. The material could be used for teaching stochastic processes and their applications. Series: Mathematical Biosciences Institute Lecture Series. Num Pages: 125 pages, 4 black & white illustrations, 2 colour illustrations, 4 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: JHBD; PBT; PBWH; PBWL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 159 x 288 x 9. Weight in Grams: 250.
This expository book presents the mathematical description of evolutionary models of populations subject to interactions (e.g. competition) within the population. The author includes both models of finite populations, and limiting models as the size of the population tends to infinity. The size of the population is described as a random function of time and of the initial population (the ancestors at time 0). The genealogical tree of such a population is given. Most models imply that the population is bound to go extinct in finite time. It is explained when the interaction is strong enough so that the extinction time ... Read more
