Solutions with a bounded support promote permanence of a distributed replicator equation
The now classical replicator equation describes a wide variety of biological phenomena, including those in theoretical genetics, evolutionary game theory, or in the theories of the origin of life. Among other questions, the permanence of the replicator equation is well studied in the local, well-mixed case. Inasmuch as the spatial heterogeneities are key to understanding the species coexistence at least in some cases, it is important to supplement the classical theory of the non-distributed replicator equation with a spatially explicit framework. One possible approach, motivated by the porous medium equation, is introduced. It is shown that the solutions to the spatially heterogeneous replicator equation may evolve to equilibrium states that have a bounded support, and, moreover, that these solutions are of paramount importance for the overall system permanence, which is shown to be a more commonplace phenomenon for the spatially explicit equation if compared with the local model.

Permanence via invasion graphs: Incorporating community assembly into Modern Coexistence Theory
To understand the mechanisms underlying species coexistence, ecologists often study invasion growth rates of theoretical and data-driven models. These growth rates correspond to average per-capita growth rates of one spe…

This paper studies the asymptotic convergence of computed dynamic models when the shock is unbounded. Most dynamic economic models lack a closed-form solution. As such, approximate solutions by numerical methods are util…

World models can predict future physical states, but prediction accuracy alone does not explain how physical information is organized and used inside their latent dynamics. We introduce a controlled diagnostic protocol f…
