Mathematical Models , Problems , and Controversies of Evolutionary Theory
1. The year 1982, the centenary of Charles Darwin's death, witnessed conferences, symposia, and publications in many disciplines devoted to reassessing the theory of evolution by natural selection and all its ramifications. A brief historical review on developments in evolutionary theory emphasizing the role of mathematics is given in §3 of this paper. §2 presents background material on agents ...
متن کاملMathematical Structure of Evolutionary Theory
Here we postulate three laws which form a mathematical framework for the evolutionary dynamics in biology. The second law is most quantitative and is explicitly expressed in a unique form of stochastic differential equation. Salient features of Darwinian evolutionary dynamics are captured by this law: the probabilistic nature of evolution, ascendancy, and the adaptive landscape. Four dynamical ...
متن کاملAdaptive and evolutionary mathematical models in economics
This paper provides a short overview of dynamic models, denoted as adaptive or evolutive, recently adopted in economics and social sciences to describe systems with heterogeneous and boundedly rational agents. Some simple mathematical formalizations are shown, and a comparison between this kind of emerging literature and the orthodox main stream paradigm based on the assumption of fully rationa...
متن کاملMathematical Models and Statistics for Evolutionary Inference
Molecular phylogenetics aims to use genomic sequence data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of species and understand evolutionary processes. It has proven to be widely useful with statistical methods using mathematical models of the process of evolution being extensively developed. Despite this, there are still a number of fundamental questions and assumptions in phylogeny reconstruction...
متن کاملMathematical finance: basic models and unsolved problems
Mathematical finance is a relatively new mathematical field. It was in a phase of explosive growth last 10-15 years, and there is very indication it will continue growing for a while yet. The growth is due to a combination of demand from financial institutions and a breakthrough in the mathematical theory of option pricing. The talk will outline basic mathematical theorems and ideas used here, ...
