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 types of individuals, in which fixation probabilities may be calculated by an exact formula, here we must solve a large system of linear equations. We first show that this system always has a unique solution. Other results are upper and lower bounds for the fixation probabilities obtained by coupling the Moran process with three strategies with birth-death processes with only two strategies. We also apply our bounds to the problem of evolution of cooperation in a population with three types of individuals already studied in a deterministic setting by N\'u\~nez Rodr\'iguez and Neves (J. Math. Biol. (2016) 73:1665--1690). We argue that cooperators will be fixated in the population with probability arbitrarily close to 1 for a large region of initial conditions and large enough population sizes.

On some dynamical features of the complete Moran model for neutral evolution in the presence of mutations
We present a version of the classical Moran model, in which mutations are taken into account; the possibility of mutations was introduced by Moran in his seminal paper, but it is more often overlooked in discussing the M…
Exact 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…
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 whe…
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 …
validEffect of the degree of an initial mutant in Moran processes in structured populations
We study the effect of the mutant's degree on the fixation probability, extinction and fixation times, in the Moran process on Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi and Barab\'{a}si-Albert graphs. We performed stochastic simulations and u…
