Replicator Dynamics in Protocells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replicator equations have been studied for three decades as a generic dynamical system modelling replication processes. Here we show how they arise naturally in models of self-replicating polymers and discuss some of their basic properties. We then concentrate on a minimal dynamic model of a protocell by coupling replicating polymers with a growing membrane.

Multilevel Selection in Models of Prebiotic Evolution II: A Direct Comparison of Compartmentalization and Spatial Self-Organization
Multilevel selection has been indicated as an essential factor for the evolution of complexity in interacting RNA-like replicator systems. There are two types of multilevel selection mechanisms: implicit and explicit. For implicit multilevel selection, spatial self-organization of replicator populations has been suggested, which leads to higher level selection among emergent mesoscopic spatial ...
متن کاملReply to the commentaries on “Evolutionary dynamics of RNA-like replicator systems: A bioinformatic approach to the origin of life”
• Di Mauro [2] mentioned the energetic and geochemical studies on the origin of life [3,4]. These studies deal with a crucial aspect of life’s origin, namely, the source of energy required to drive primordial biochemical reactions. • Peliti [5] mentioned the dichotomy between the metabolism-first and replicator-first scenarios for the origin of life [6] or, as he reformulated it, the dichotomy ...
متن کاملSynchronization Phenomena in Surface-Reaction Models of Protocells
A class of generic models of protocells is introduced, which are inspired by the Los Alamos bug hypothesis but which, due to their abstraction level, can be applied to a wider set of detailed protocell hypotheses. These models describe the coupled growth of the lipid container and of the self-replicating molecules. A technique to analyze the dynamics of populations of such protocells is describ...

In this paper we have tried mention to some sort of thewell-known evolutionary modeling approaches in economic territory such as Multi Agent simulations, Evolutionary Computation and Evolutionary Game Theory. As it has been mentioned in the paper, in recent years, the number of Evolutionary contributions applied to Multi-Agent models increased remarkably. However until now there is no consensus...
متن کاملFurther developments of extensive-form replicator dynamics using the sequence-form representation
Replicator dynamics model the interactions and change in large populations of agents. Standard replicator dynamics, however, only allow single action interactions between agents. Complex interactions, as modeled by general extensive games, have received comparatively little attention in this setting. Recently, replicator dynamics have been adapted to extensive-form games represented in sequence...
