Fixation probabilities for the Moran process in evolutionary games with two strategies: graph shapes and large population asymptotics
This paper is based on the complete classification of evolutionary scenarios for the Moran process with two strategies given by Taylor et al. (B. Math. Biol. 66(6): 1621--1644, 2004). Their classification is based on whether each strategy is a Nash equilibrium and whether the fixation probability for a single individual of each strategy is larger or smaller than its value for neutral evolution. We improve on this analysis by showing that each evolutionary scenario is characterized by a definite graph shape for the fixation probability function. A second class of results deals with the behavior of the fixation probability when the population size tends to infinity. We develop asymptotic formulae that approximate the fixation probability in this limit and conclude that some of the evolutionary scenarios cannot exist when the population size is large.

The Impact of Time Delay on Mutant Fixation in Evolutionary Games
Evolutionary game theory examines how strategies spread and persist in populations through reproduction and imitation based on their fitness. Traditionally, models assume instantaneous dynamics where fitness depends on t…
Fixation probabilities for the Moran process with three or more strategies: general and coupling results
We study fixation probabilities for the Moran stochastic process for the evolution of a population with three or more types of individuals and frequency-dependent fitnesses. Contrarily to the case of populations with two…
MathCounterintuitive properties of the fixation time in network-structured populations
Evolutionary dynamics on graphs can lead to many interesting and counterintuitive findings. We study the Moran process, a discrete time birth-death process, that describes the invasion of a mutant type into a population …
validExact fixation probabilities for the Birth-Death and Death-Birth frequency-dependent Moran processes on the star graph
Broom and Rycht\'{a}\v{r} [Proc. R. Soc. A (2008) 464, 2609--2627] found an exact solution for the fixation probabilities of the Moran process for a structured population, in which the interaction structure among individ…
Fitness dependence of the fixation-time distribution for evolutionary dynamics on graphs
Evolutionary graph theory models the effects of natural selection and random drift on structured populations of competing mutant and non-mutant individuals. Recent studies have found that fixation times in such systems o…
