	Energy Lyapunov function for generalized replicator equations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Replicator dynamics is an evolutionary strategy well established in different disciplines of biological sciences.
		Besides this, replicator selection has been applied to problem solving in combinatorial optimization and to learning in neural networks and also in fluid mechanics, game and laser theory.
		In this paper the author introduces the new class of generalized replicator equations with nonlinear response functions and constructs an energy Lyapunov function for this system.

	Co-existence
		The third equations shows that the total replicator number is constant, and so replacing x2 with C-x1, in the equation for x1', we can obtain an expression for x1' purely in terms of x1.
		For parabolic replicators with only active constituent decay, there is no co-existence, since the inactive constituent can replenish the active constituent as the active constituent decays, and so serve as a buffer store of active replicators, specific for the species concerned.

		The inhomogeneous replicator equation is derived as the continuous time model for parallel first and second order autocatalytic replication of macromolecules in a flow reactor based on mass action kinetics.
		It is shown that the total concentration of replicating material determines the relative importance of the first order and the second order mechanism.
		A minimal prebiotic scenario with the potentiality to develop cooperation is derived from the inhomogeneous replicator equation.

	Preprint: On the Linearity of Replicator Equations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		We show that replicator equations follow naturally from the exponential affine structure of the simplex known from information geometry.
		It is then natural to call replicator equations linear if their fitness function is affine.
		For such linear replicator equations an explicit solution can be found.

	Immune Networks Modeled by Replicator Equations
		We show that by transforming into relative concentrations, the B-cell network equations can be brought into a form that closely resembles the replicator equation.
		The number of equilibria and their stability are then characterized using methods developed for the study of second-order replicator equations.
		A particularly interesting result of our analysis is the fact that even though the immune network equations are not second-order, the number and stability of their equilibria can be obtained by a superposition of second-order replicator systems.

		Replicator equations describe how successful strategies spread and thereby create new conditions that can alter the basis of their success, i.e., to enable us to understand the strategic and genetic foundations of the endless chronicle of invasions and extinctions that punctuate evolution.
		Indeed, it is a wonderful way to learn differential equation theory, since one immediately is faced with meaningful problems to solve.
		First, HS deal with Lotka-Volterra equations of the type prevalent in predator-prey models, which they extend to ecological models and several populations.

	On the Asymptotics of an Infinite-Dimensional Stochastic Dynamical System
		I'm a little paranoid about being scooped, so I won't say much more, only that there are certain connections with genetic algorithms, and that the finite-dimensional analog is related to the replicator equation of evolutionary biology.
		Now, the replicator equation can be re-written as a linear system (or so Nihat tells me), which may be helpful...

	Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
		In this survey, we present an overview of the many brands of deterministic dynamical systems motivated by evolutionary game theory, including ordinary differential equations (and, in particular, the replicator equation), differential inclusions (the best response dynamics), difference equations (as, for instance, fictitious play) and reaction-diffusion systems.
		A recurrent theme (the so-called `folk theorem of evolutionary game theory') is the close connection of the dynamical approach with the Nash equilibrium, but we show that a static, equilibrium-based viewpoint is, on principle, unable to always account for the long-term behaviour of players adjusting their behaviour to maximise their payoff.

	Autocatalytic Networks with Translation
		We consider the kinetics of an autocatalytic reaction network in which replication and catalytic action is separated by a translation step.
		We find that the behavior of such a system is closely related to second order replicator equations, which describe the kinetic of autocatalytic reaction networks in which the replicators act also as catalysts.
		The influence of mutations on replication translation networks is also very similar to the behavior of selection-mutation equations.

	Generalized URN models of evolutionary processes, Michel Benaïm, Sebastian J. Schreiber, Pierre Tarrès
		Previously, it has been shown that on the event of population growth, the limiting distribution of genotypes is a connected internally chain recurrent set for the mean limit ODE.
		Second, the population distribution almost surely does not converge to sets where growth is not expected and almost surely does not converge to “nondegenerate” unstable equilibria or periodic orbits of the mean limit ODE.
		Applications to stochastic analogs of the replicator equations and fertility-selection equations of population genetics are given.

	Replicator equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The replicator equation is a differential equation that defines the dynamics of evolutionary games.
		Infinite population size: Assuming an infinitely large population makes the equation easier to understand and analyze, as the dynamics of populations become deterministic when an infinite number of individuals is assumed.
		Continuous time: The dynamics in a replicator equation are defined by the rates of birth and death of individuals, resulting in differential equations

		Rather than global functions, the agents were programmed with a model of their environment without sharing knowledge.
		Using the rock-scissors-papers game interaction as a model, the researchers showed that coupled replicator equations explain the macroscopic behaviors of a network of learning agents.
		The researchers said they plan to quantify the collective functions of large multiagent systems, developing statistical equations of motion to account for fluctuations in the finite models and histories among agents.

		The approach is centered around a remarkable result proved by Motzkin and Straus in the mid-1960s, and recently expanded in various ways, which allows us to formulate the maximum clique problem in terms of a standard quadratic program.
		To solve the program we use``replicator'' equations, a class of simple continuous- and discrete-time dynamical systems developed in various branches of theoretical biology.
		We show how, despite their inability to escape from local solutions, they nevertheless provide experimental results which are competitive with those obtained using more elaborate mean-field annealing heuristics.

	Coupled Replicator Equations for the Dynamics of Learning in Multiagent Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Starting with a group of reinforcement-learning agents we derive coupled replicator equations that describe the dynamics of collective learning in multiagent systems.
		We show that, although agents model their environment in a self-interested way without sharing knowledge, a game dynamics emerges naturally through the environment.
		These include quasiperiodicity, stable limit cycles, intermittency, and deterministic chaos---behaviors that are to be expected in the multiagent, heterogeneous setting described by the general replicator equations.

		Abstract: The replicator equation is a system of ordinary differential equations on an n-simplex that arise in the study of evolutionary game theory.
		I will show how the Poincare'-Hopf theorem can be used to prove that in case the game matrix has a special form, the replicator system has a unique local attractor.

		Abstract: This is an informal talk on a theorem of Scherrer from 1940 that says that if all the closed curves on a surface have total twist zero, the surface must be a plane or a sphere.

	EUI - ECO - Ianni, Antonella Abstract
		Specifically, the paper shows that: a) up to an error term, the stochastic process is driven by a system of discrete time difference equations of the replicator type.
		b) if the trajectories of the system of replicator equations converge sufficiently fast, then the probability that all realizations of the learning process over a possibly infinite spell of time lie within a given small distance of the solution path of the replicator dynamics becomes, from some time on, arbitrarily close to one.
		Fast convergence, in the form of exponential convergence, is shown to hold for any strict Nash equilibrium of the underlying game.
