It begins with the quasispecies equation, a fundamental non-linear equation that captures the equilibrium between mutation and selection in Manfred Eigens renowned quasispecies model. Through a detailed analysis, the equation is examined under specific assumptions, including finite genotype space, sharp peak landscapes, and class-dependent fitness landscapes. Various probabilistic representation formulae are derived to solve the equation, involving classical combinatorial quantities such as Stirling and Euler numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book demonstrates how quasispecies and error threshold phenomena arise in finite population models, providing mathematical proofs for the Wright–Fisher model. Additionally, exact formulas are obtained for the quasispecies distribution in different scenarios, including the long chain regime, sharp peak landscape, and class-dependent fitness landscapes. Furthermore, the book analyzes several other classical population models, focusing on their dynamical behavior and their connections to the quasispecies equation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds significant appeal to mathematicians and theoretical ecologists\/biologists engaged in the study of finite population models. Its detailed analysis and mathematical proofs provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of population evolution, offering valuable tools for researchers in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 547g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031086625\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raphael Cerf,Joseba Dalmau","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103380959482,"sku":"9783031086625","price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_46b10158-ac7d-4760-ad0c-6b3b0ee97ac6.jpg?v=1669971787","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-quasispecies-equation-and-classical-population-models-9783031086625","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
