Asymptotic fitness distribution in the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution with four species
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest a new method to compute the asymptotic fitness distribution in the Bak–Sneppen model of biological evolution. As applications we derive the full asymptotic distribution in the four-species model, and give an explicit linear recurrence relation for a set of coefficients determining the asymptotic distribution in the five-species model.

A differential equation for the asymptotic fitness distribution in the Bak-Sneppen model with five species.
The Bak-Sneppen model is an abstract representation of a biological system that evolves according to the Darwinian principles of random mutation and selection. The species in the system are characterized by a numerical fitness value between zero and one. We show that in the case of five species the steady-state fitness distribution can be obtained as a solution to a linear differential equation...
متن کاملInfluence of Local Interactions in the Bak-Sneppen Model and Economic Applications
In the present work we extend the Bak-Sneppen model for biological evolution by introducing local interactions between species. This ``environmental'' perturbation can modify the intrinsic fitness of each element of the ecology, leading to higher survival probability, even for the less fit. While the system still self-organizes toward a critical state, the distribution of fitness broadens, losi...
متن کاملLimit Behavior of the Bak–sneppen Evolution Model by Ronald Meester
One of the key problems related to the Bak–Sneppen evolution model on the circle is computing the limit distribution of the fitness at a fixed observation vertex in the stationary regime as the size of the system tends to infinity. Some simulations have suggested that this limit distribution is uniform on (f,1) for some f ∼ 2/3. In this article, we prove that the mean of the fitness in the stat...
متن کاملA stochastic model of evolution
We propose an alternative to the Bak-Sneppen model for species survival. In our model the number of species is random. Births and deaths occur with constant probabilities and it is only the species with lowest fitness which is removed. We show that there is a sharp phase transition when the birth probability is larger than the death probability. The set of species with fitness higher than a cer...
متن کاملGenetic information and self-organized criticality
– The numerical fitnesses of species defined in the Bak-Sneppen model of selforganized criticality are interpreted as binary strings. This allows new species to be generated by mutation of survivors. It is shown that selection in Bak-Sneppen systems defined on both uniform and random lattices produces genotypes in conformity with the Eigen criterion for the accumulation of genetic information i...
