Description

Coevolutionary dynamics arises in a wide range from biological to social dynamical systems. For infinite populations, a standard approach to analyze the dynamics are deterministic replicator equations, however lacking a systematic derivation. In finite populations modelling finite-size stochasticity by Gaussian noise is not in general warranted [1]. We show that for the evolutionary Moran process and a Local update process, the explicit limit of infinite populations leads to the adjusted or the standard replicator dynamics, respectively [2]. In addition, the first-order corrections in the population size are given by the finite-size update stochasticity and can be derived as a generalized diffusion term of a Fokker-Planck equation [2]. This framework can be readily transferred to other microscopic processes, as the local Fermi process [3] or the inclusion of mutations in the process [4]. We explicitely discuss the differences for the Prisoner's Dilemma, and Dawkin's Battle of the Sexes, where we show that the stochastic update fluctuations in the Moran process lead to a finite-size dependent drift reversal [2].

SO see he makes sense, moreover, he tires to make sense, to make sense of what of a field descending into -- or OK i cannot tell, never having ascending out of -- well you know ..
